There was community outrage for this senseless act of violence. Quenton had deep roots in this community and it was angering that this happened.

Quenton De Marco Dews, a 50-year-old African American man from Cincinnati, Ohio, was fatally shot inside his home in the 1400 block of Evencrest Drive in Mount Healthy on October 24, 2021. Officers found Dews with multiple gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the scene after life-saving measures.

Investigators identified 21-year-old Shavontez Layson of Forest Park as the shooter based on multiple eyewitness accounts and positive identification by family members. Layson fled in a black 2012 Chrysler 200 and was considered armed and dangerous; a murder charge was filed and he was later arrested and charged in connection with Dews’ death. A large crowd gathered outside the home during the response, and multiple law enforcement agencies were called in to regain control of the scene.

What information can anyone who was in Mount Healthy on October 24, 2021, or who saw a black 2012 Chrysler 200 that day share with investigators?
