Melvin Dean was 16 and a junior at Princeton High School when he was fatally shot on March 23, 2019, in Lincoln Heights, Ohio. He was sitting in a vehicle with 21-year-old acquaintance Roosevelt Collier when Collier shot Dean twice in the head. Dean was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and pronounced dead at the scene.

Roosevelt Collier turned himself in the day after the shooting and was arrested and charged with murder; he was held on a $1 million bond. Dean’s family and friends described him as bright, family oriented and a football player; they said the shooting was shocking because the two young men had known each other and often hung out together. The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office asked anyone with information to come forward.

If anyone knew Melvin Dean, his life, or the circumstances that night, can you share information that might help the investigation?
