Ricky Julius, 33, of Cincinnati, Ohio, was killed on March 22, 2017. His death was tied to a narcotics conspiracy involving the sale of fentanyl and marijuana and became part of a broader drug-related investigation in the Cincinnati area.

Court documents state that Jamal Binford, 33, of Cincinnati, directed two co-defendants, Antwan Coach Jr. and Markel Hardy, to murder Julius in August 2021 and paid them to carry out the killing. Binford was arrested in February 2023 at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and was later convicted on counts including participation in the narcotics conspiracy and murder in connection with that conspiracy. He faces a mandatory minimum of 20 years and up to life in prison.

The case links Julius’s death directly to the narcotics conspiracy and shows multiple arrests and legal proceedings followed. Does anyone have information about Julius’s life or movements in Cincinnati before March 22, 2017?
