Leandre Lil Lee Heights, 44, was fatally shot on the front porch of his Blair Avenue home in Cincinnati on June 4, 2022, at about 4:30 p.m. He was pronounced dead at the scene and the Cincinnati Police Department opened a homicide investigation.

Heights was remembered for his artistic drawings, sense of humor, and devotion to his family. He is survived by four sons — Ledre, Diondre, Le’Andre, and Ladarrean — and siblings Bruce, Lekendalle and Julisa Heights. The case remained under investigation by the CPD Homicide Unit.

On February 23, 2023, 41-year-old Steven McCloud Sr. was arrested in connection with the shooting; the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office said McCloud walked up to Heights and shot him and McCloud had been indicted for murder in January 2023. Anyone with information about the killing is asked to come forward.
