Shawn Kelley Jr. was 21 when he was fatally shot on June 25, 2018, in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. The shooting occurred at Findlay Park during a dispute that involved Kelley and his father; Kelley was killed while trying to flee the scene and his father, in his 40s, suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.

Police arrested 33-year-old Markus Bell about six hours after the shooting and charged him with murder and felonious assault. Bell’s record includes prior Hamilton County convictions for drugs, weapons, and menacing. The incident was the sixth fatality in Over-the-Rhine that year and drew shock and sorrow from residents, with community outreach advocates assisting the affected families.
