No charges in shooting death of Lima 16-year-old Williams LIMA — The November shooting death of a Lima juvenile was a case of self-defense, an Allen County grand jury determined this month. A joint press release issued Monday by the Allen County Prosecutor’s Office and Lima Police Department confirmed that Mekhi Williams died Nov. 18 of multiple gunshot wounds, but grand jurors determined the shooter, Zachary Copeland, was justified in his actions. He was not charged. On Nov. 18, officers from the Lima Police Department responded to a fatal shooting in the 300 block of South Scott Street. Upon their arrival officers found the 16-year-old Williams deceased.
