State of Ohio v. Caleb Flynn is a high-profile homicide prosecution in the Miami County Common Pleas Court arising from the February 16, 2026, shooting death of 37-year-old middle school teacher and volleyball coach Ashley Flynn at her Tipp City home. Prosecutors alleged that Caleb C. Flynn, a 40-year-old former youth pastor, worship director, and 2013 American Idol contestant, shot his sleeping wife twice in the head and staged a home invasion to conceal the murder in order to pursue an extramarital affair with church intern Alleigha Botner. Following an eight-day trial featuring extensive Apple Watch and digital device telemetry, a Miami County jury convicted Flynn on September 29, 2026, on all nine felony counts, including aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault, and tampering with evidence. Presiding Judge Jeannine N. Pratt scheduled sentencing for October 5, 2026, where Flynn faces life imprisonment without parole.
