Lacey Florence, 28, was shot and killed on December 19, 2021, during a verbal altercation on Glenway Avenue near a BP station in the East Price Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati. The shooting happened about 2:30 p.m.; Florence was taken to a nearby hospital in a private vehicle and later died that day.

Police reports identify 20-year-old Jwan McCloud of East Price Hill as the person who allegedly shot Florence during the argument. McCloud was arrested and charged with aggravated murder and was held at the Hamilton County Justice Center with bond set at $1 million as the case moved through court. The Cincinnati Police Department Homicide Unit continued to investigate and asked anyone with information to come forward.

Family members described Florence as bright and bubbly, with aspirations of becoming a sign language interpreter and an infectious laugh. Does anyone in East Price Hill have information about the incident or the events leading up to it?
