Deonte Nuckols, 46, of St. Bernard, Ohio, was shot and killed inside his Chalet Drive condo on August 1, 2021. Police were called at about 10:45 p.m. and found Nuckols dead; at the time authorities did not disclose suspects or details of the circumstances.

Investigators later linked Nuckols’ killing to a narcotics conspiracy. The indictment unsealed in February 2023 accused Jamal Binford, 33, of conspiring with Antwan Coach Jr., 22, and Markel Hardy, 23, to kill Nuckols in connection with a fentanyl trafficking scheme of 400 grams or more. The charging documents say Binford paid Coach and Hardy to carry out the murder and that Nuckols had been texting Binford about a drug debt on the day he was killed. The defendants were charged with murder in furtherance of a drug-trafficking conspiracy and for using a firearm in the commission of murder.
