Jaraius Terrell Gilbert Jr was a 13-year-old eighth grader from Hamilton, Ohio who was shot multiple times and killed on August 29, 2018. The Butler County Coroner’s Office ruled the death a homicide. The shooting happened just after 6:30 p.m. on South Front Street while Jaraius was talking with a friend; police described the killing as senseless and said they believed it was targeted violence planned by a third party.

Jaraius attended Wilson Middle School and was remembered for community involvement and a passion for sports. Detectives canvassed the neighborhood after the shooting and the school district provided counselors for students. In April 2019, Kameron Tunstall, 19, was convicted of murder and assault in connection with Jaraius’s death; prosecutors said Tunstall gave the gun to Miquan Hubbard, who pleaded guilty to pulling the trigger. The community mourned Jaraius and his loss has been framed as part of broader concerns about youth gun violence.
