Deshawn Jenkins, 19, of Cincinnati, was killed by gunshot wounds on April 18, 2017, in a double shooting at the Towerview Apartments on East Knoll Court in Mount Airy. He was found alongside another victim who survived. The incident occurred amid a violent 12-hour span across the Tri-State area that included multiple shootings and fatalities.

Cincinnati Police arrested three people in connection with the shooting: Michael Kelley, 22, Frankie Banks, 24, and Bahaudin Jacobs, 25, each charged with murder. Investigators said the shootings in Over-the-Rhine were believed to be connected, though no motive was disclosed. That same day, other fatal shootings included Kendall Perkins, 34, found shot dead inside his car on West Elder Street, and Cheryl Allender, 37, who was shot dead in her home; her husband, John Allender, was charged with her murder.

What information do readers have about Jenkins, his movements that day, or anyone who might help clarify what happened?
