Jason Jared Simpson, 47, of Hamilton, Ohio, died of gunshot wounds on May 20, 2021. The Butler County Coroner’s Office ruled his death a homicide after he was found with two gunshot wounds in the 2100 block of Madison Avenue and later died at Kettering Health Hamilton Medical Center.

Authorities say the shooting followed a confrontation between Simpson and 40-year-old Nicholas Lorenz of Warvel Road. Witnesses and neighbors helped police locate Lorenz after he fled the scene in a red truck and then on foot; Lorenz was arrested without incident and charged with murder. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for May 28, 2021, and bond was set at $1 million.

The motive for the shooting has not been reported. Does anyone have information about the confrontation on Madison Avenue or saw activity in that neighborhood around May 20, 2021?
