Sorin C. Farcas, a 19-year-old male of Romanian ethnicity, tragically passed away on May 28, 2018, in Huber Heights, near Dayton, OH. Sorin was born on October 14, 1998, in Dej, Romania, and was the son of Craig and Codruta Coe. He had recently graduated from Wayne High School and was planning to start his college career at Sinclair Community College.
Sorin was known for being an inspiration to all who knew him.
On the day of his death, Sorin was fatally shot in the head in the garage of his home on Charnwood Drive in Huber Heights. The incident occurred following an altercation, and Huber Heights police responded to the call. The investigation led to the arrest of Tylin Watson, a 20-year-old male from Dayton. Watson was found guilty of murder, aggravated robbery, felonious assault, and tampering with evidence. He was sentenced to 49 years-to-life in prison, and he will not be eligible for parole until he has served at least 49 years.
The case brought significant attention to the community, and the legal proceedings were closely followed. The conviction of Watson provided some measure of justice for Sorin's family and friends, who continue to remember and honor his memory.
