Javon R. Flemming, 27, was shot and killed on October 6, 2019, around 2:30 p.m. in the 1700 block of Vine Street in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine. He was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and died shortly after arrival.

Police described two suspects: one man in a gray hoodie and another wearing a black mask. Investigators also linked a gray 2015 Kia Forte with Ohio plate HRN 9375 to the incident. A lengthy probe followed, complicated at the scene by a hostile crowd that hindered officers’ efforts to render aid.

On February 23, 2021, authorities arrested Melvin Summers and he was later indicted on murder charges alleging he shot Flemming on Vine Street. Motive remains unclear and community leaders urged anyone with information to come forward.

Did anyone in Over-the-Rhine see the gray 2015 Kia Forte or either person that afternoon?
