Dante Harrington was 17 when he was shot outside his grandmother’s home in the 900 block of Adams Street in Lincoln Heights on the evening of Friday, September 13, 2019. Deputies with the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office arrived to find him suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, including one to the chest. He was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and died of his injuries. Family and neighbors later held a candlelight vigil to honor him; his aunt, Love Scott, described him as thoughtful, funny, family-oriented and determined to do something great with his life.

Investigators searched for a black vehicle believed to be involved. About 90 minutes after Dante was shot, deputies responded to a separate shooting nearby in which 18-year-old Jaylan Hardy was wounded; the sheriff’s office later said that incident was not related. On September 18, 2019, authorities arrested Randy Munachimso Akabuaku, 25, and charged him with murder based on evidence and witness statements; he was booked into the Hamilton County Justice Center. Despite that arrest, the case is still listed as unresolved. The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office asks anyone with information to call 513-851-6000.
