Jesse Samuel Redavide was 21 when he was shot and killed on November 14, 2017, at his brother’s home in Dayton, Ohio. The shooting took place during an altercation with Lance Antonio Irvin, 41, of Dayton, who told police he acted in self-defense after saying Redavide used racial slurs and assaulted him.

Irvin was convicted in May 2019 of murder, two counts of felonious assault, and tampering with evidence and received a sentence of 20½ years to life. The Second District Court of Appeals later overturned the murder conviction in September 2023 because of erroneous jury instructions on self-defense and ordered a retrial; a March 2024 retrial again resulted in a murder conviction and the same 20½ years to life sentence, while the tampering and felonious assault convictions were upheld. Witnesses testified that Redavide’s hands were in the air when he was shot, and the prosecution said Irvin’s account conflicted with autopsy findings and witness statements.

Anyone who knew Jesse, was at the brother’s residence that night, or has information that could clarify the sequence of events is asked to share what they know.
