Derray Deshawn Kennedy, 20, was found shot in the driver’s seat of a red pickup truck after it crashed on Eastlawn Drive in Roselawn, Cincinnati, on December 11, 2017. He was taken to U.C. Medical Center and died of his injuries. The scene was part of a double homicide; 22-year-old Demetrius Powell was also found dead at the scene.

Police reported that Derray and Demetrius were involved in a shooting and that investigators believed the two shot and killed each other. No suspects were initially identified while witnesses were being interviewed. A later indictment named 21-year-old Kiandre Erkins in connection with two murders, including Derray’s, and with an associated shooting and multiple robberies; prosecutors said they did not believe Erkins fired the fatal shot in Derray’s death but charged him with complicity due to his involvement with Demetrius Powell during the incident.

Are there details readers who knew Derray or witnessed the crash can share to help clarify what happened that night?
