Robert Sims, 31, was shot to death on October 29, 2018, in Cincinnati, Ohio, after a confrontation during a house renovation project. Sims was working as a contractor when he got into a dispute with Jeffrey Eckstein, who was also working on the project and is described as Sims’ father-in-law. Eckstein reportedly pulled out a firearm and shot Sims three times in the chest; neighbors tried to help but Sims did not survive.

Eckstein was arrested and charged with murder and was held on a $1 million bond. Court filings noted a familial relationship between the two men, although Eckstein’s attorney said that relationship might not have been formal. The exact cause of the dispute that led to the shooting remains unclear.

Does anyone have information about the renovation site, witnesses who were there that day, or other details about what sparked the confrontation?
