WFCN –
Columbus police released new surveillance footage on Wednesday, identifying three suspects being sought in connection with the death of a mother and speech pathologist from central Ohio.
The victim tragically lost her life while trying to prevent the theft of her vehicle, which had her son inside. Prior to the public vigil, the footage was made public just hours earlier.
From what we can see in the video, two of the three criminals are chasing the stolen Honda belonging to Alexa Stakely. The third suspect is behind the wheel. Two of the suspects pursue the driver on foot until they reach the apartment complex’s parking area, where they leave the automobile. The three individuals in question were last saw by law enforcement moving northward along Brynwood Green Drive, according to their report.
The trio appeared to be at ease in the neighborhood, as they persisted in walking after getting out of Stakely’s Honda, according to the Columbus police. That they either reside nearby or have acquaintances who do is also suggestive.
If you or someone you know lived at The Residences at James Place or The Residences at Akita Lane in the early hours of July 11th, you are strongly encouraged by authorities investigating a homicide case to review your security footage. Anyone having video footage of this incident is encouraged to come forward and assist the authorities in solving the case.

There will be a memorial service for Stakely on Wednesday night at the school where she had worked.
A woman named Alexa Stakely, who was 29 years old, unfortunately passed away on Thursday morning after her own SUV crashed into her. It was about 1:30 in the morning, and she had just finished her second shift as a waitress.
She was going to pick up her 6-year-old son from his babysitter’s house, which was located on the 6300 block of Blue Knoll Drive at the White Oak Park Condominiums. Her child was being picked up when the incident happened.

Stepping into the babysitter’s doorway, Stakely collected her son’s possessions and fastened him to her SUV. At the very moment that she was finishing up, she saw a car pull out of the driveway.
Stakely reportedly fell to the ground after being involved in an accident with her own vehicle, where she suffered a fatal head injury, according to the police.
Two male suspects were seen fleeing on foot by witnesses. To everyone’s relief, Stakely’s son was unharmed in the incident. The body camera footage shows him telling the police that he slept through their car being stolen.
At the same school where she once worked, Stakely plans to hold a memorial service for Indira Gandhi on Wednesday night. Here are some facts about her that you probably didn’t know.
Stakely will be remembered at a public vigil at Winchester Trails Elementary School on Wednesday night. The vigil is being attended by community members and family members of Stakely, who worked as a speech language pathologist at this very school.
Wednesday at 7 o’clock is the time of our vigil. Showcased here is the auditorium of Canal Winchester’s Winchester Trail Elementary School, 6865 Gender Rd. Join me in this time of remembrance.
At 11573 Lithopolis Rd NW, Lithopolis, Grace Fellowship Church will host a visitation on Thursday, as stated in the obituary of the deceased. There are two times when people can come to pay their respects: from 2-4 p.m. and from 6-8 p.m. Afterwards, at the same spot, there will be a funeral and burial.

On Monday, Loose Rail Brewing, that can be found at 37 W. Waterloo St. in Canal Winchester, will be hosting a charity drive in favor of a decent cause. Proceeds from the event will go into a trust that will help support a deserving son.
