Maurice Searcy, a 32-year-old man from Cincinnati, Ohio, was shot and killed on November 26, 2022. He was found bleeding from the head and chest near Good Brothas Bar and Grill on Savannah Avenue in North College Hill. Investigators recovered 25 shell casings at the scene and say a suspect fled in an early model white Hyundai Santa Fe; no arrests have been announced.

At the time he was killed Searcy was out on bond after an earlier arrest that year on four felony counts related to fentanyl trafficking and possession; police recovered a bag of narcotics in his car, which was parked less than a mile from where he died. In 2018 he had been acquitted of a double murder charge after video evidence reportedly showed another man fired the fatal shots.

Police are reviewing video from nearby homes and the bar as the investigation continues. If anyone has information about Maurice Searcy’s death or the white Hyundai Santa Fe, please contact North College Hill police.
