Malcolm Brewton, 25, was shot dead on December 16, 2020, and found in a vehicle near Simpson Avenue and Carpenter Drive in North College Hill, Cincinnati. Police say the shooting followed what was believed to be an attempted drug deal; Brewton had exited the vehicle and was shot by the people who were to purchase drugs. He was inside the car with his girlfriend, who was driving, and three other passengers.

In April 2021 the driver, 18-year-old Sierrah Vance, was charged with involuntary manslaughter. Authorities allege Vance insisted that Brewton go to the location, that her sister arranged the sale, and that Vance was present when Brewton was shot. Vance’s attorney has said she never intended harm. No arrests in connection with the shooting have been reported and the investigation remains open.

If anyone has information about the shooting or the people involved, please share what is known with investigators.
