Tyshawna Morris, 26, of Cincinnati, was found dead in the East Westwood neighborhood on February 27, 2022. Emergency crews were called about an unresponsive person around 6:45 a.m.; officers discovered her body inside her apartment. The Cincinnati Police Homicide Unit took over the investigation but did not immediately disclose the cause of death.

Investigators say Morris had recently moved into a new unit in the same complex where Lashawn Gamble, 28, lived. Her father said she had called him the day before to tell him about the move; he dropped her off at the complex the night before and discovered her body the next morning when he looked through the apartment window. He reported seeing no obvious signs of a struggle, only a flip flop and blood.

On March 2, 2022, authorities arrested Gamble and charged him with murder and tampering with evidence. Court documents allege he disposed of the murder weapon and Morris’s cell phone to prevent their use as evidence. The Homicide Unit continues to investigate. Anyone with information about Morris or the events around February 26–27, 2022, is asked to come forward.
