High school STEM teacher and mom of 2 gunned down in her truck while engine was still running: Police

An Ohio high school teacher and mother of two was found shot to death late last month, authorities say. So far, only one relatively minor arrest has been made in connection with the case.

Michelle Long, 50, taught math, STEM and industry at Leetonia High School for nine years, according to her obituary. She was also a track and robotics coach and was heavily involved with the broader communities of Butler and Salem townships in Columbiana County. Her time and tenure with her children’s local Boy Scouts Troop #6, where she served in a leadership position, was particularly important to Long. She was particularly fond of accompanying her two boys on winter camping trips, which earned her the nickname “Ice Princess.”

On the night of Nov. 29, the beloved mom and booster with the royal moniker was uncharacteristically late to pick up one of her sons. Long’s boyfriend checked on her and discovered the worst — she was killed in her truck, idling in the driveway, according to the Columbiana County Sheriff’s Office.
