Judson Roper Jr., 26, was shot to death on April 26, 2017, in Cincinnati’s West End neighborhood. The shooting occurred in the 800 block of Findley Street and was described by investigators as a targeted killing rather than a random act.

Police arrested 22-year-old Cormon Harriell on murder charges and allege Harriell was paid in drugs and cash to carry out the shooting. Harriell was arraigned on November 1, 2017. The case drew attention to violence in the West End and raised questions about gang-related incentives for committing murder.

If anyone knew Judson, his routines, or saw activity around Findley Street on April 26, 2017, contact investigators with any information.
