Anthony Ryan Billups, a 34-year-old Black man from Cincinnati, was shot and killed on the afternoon of July 17, 2022, while inside the Northside Flats Apartments on Kentucky Avenue. He and his pregnant girlfriend, Jazmyne Jones, were helping Jones’s younger sister move when Deonte Wilson and his brother, Darrius Wilson, arrived and an argument followed. Family members said they had called 911 about an hour before the shooting to report a threat that Deonte might show up with a gun.

Around 3 p.m., multiple shots were fired from the parking lot. Bullets shattered a glass door and struck both Billups and Jones; officers found Billups with a gunshot wound and he was taken to UC Medical Center, where he later died. Jones sustained a gunshot wound to the leg, had surgery, and was released; her unborn baby was reported expected to be physically okay. Surveillance video and witness identification led to the arrests of Deonte and Darrius Wilson the next morning, and a grand jury indicted both men on five counts, including murder and felonious assault.

Anthony is remembered by family as a caring, humble, and forgiving person, a Mount Healthy High School graduate and fiancé who was also an organ donor. Does anyone have information about that afternoon at Northside Flats or remember seeing the parking lot around 3 p.m. on July 17, 2022?
