Lashawnda N. Batchelor, 34, of Cincinnati, Ohio, was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head in a Blue Ash motel room on August 9, 2022. Emergency crews tried to save her but she was pronounced dead at the scene. A gun was found beside her body.

An 8-year-old boy, identified as her son, was discovered nearby with a severe leg injury. He told police someone had pushed him out of a window and that he had tried to help his mother but could not save her. Investigators reported bloody footprints leading to the motel room.

Family members have suggested Lashawnda may have died by suicide, but police say the cause of death remains under investigation and are exploring all possibilities. The responding officer was later nominated for a commendation for efforts to save the boy. Does anyone have information about who might have pushed the boy or other details from that night?
