Brandon McFarland, 37, of Cincinnati was found shot on Harrison Avenue in the city’s Westwood neighborhood late the night of October 7, 2020, and later pronounced dead at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. Police have not disclosed what might have provoked the shooting, and the circumstances leading up to the attack remain unclear.

Three weeks after the killing, police arrested 27-year-old Deandre Trapp and charged him with McFarland’s murder. Trapp was taken into custody by the Fugitive Apprehension Squad and has been held at the Hamilton County Justice Center; he also faces separate methamphetamine trafficking charges and has prior convictions for weapons violations and drug trafficking. The investigation is ongoing and authorities are seeking any additional information.

Brandon is remembered by family and friends as a husband, father, and brother. Does anyone in Westwood have information about Brandon’s final night or the events on Harrison Avenue?
