Alias Phillips, 24, was shot and killed on March 17, 2022, in the parking lot outside the Oakley Target in Cincinnati, Ohio. Phillips had recently moved back to Cincinnati to help his mother and was shopping with his siblings when a confrontation occurred inside the store. Witnesses say a man confronted Phillips and his family inside, then later waited outside with a gun and chased the group as they left, firing multiple shots that killed Phillips.

Police arrested 22-year-old Anthony McIntosh and charged him in the killing. McIntosh allegedly felt disrespected during the interaction inside the store and confronted the family again in the parking lot. Phillips’ father, Tracy Phillips, filed a $50 million wrongful death lawsuit against Target, alleging store security failed to intervene when the shooter confronted Phillips with a gun inside the store and seeking damages and an apology.

Community members described Phillips as a kind, talented aspiring musician. If anyone was in the Oakley Target or its parking lot that day and saw what happened, please share what was witnessed.
