Gregory Jeffries, 38, was shot to death on February 20, 2022, in Cincinnati’s Mount Airy neighborhood. He was found unresponsive on Hawaiian Terrace around 9:25 p.m. with multiple gunshot wounds to the back and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police quickly identified a person of interest and took them into custody. Laquieta Reese, 35, was charged with murder and felony assault in connection with Jeffries’ death; court papers allege she shot him twice during an argument. Her attorney has said she acted in self-defense and a bond was set at $500,000.

Jeffries was born November 30, 1983, and was one of five children of his mother, Fannie Jeffries. The shooting has left his family and the community seeking answers about what happened that night.
