Salih Muhummed Williams, a 36-year-old African American man from Cincinnati, Ohio, was fatally shot on January 21, 2017, in the 2000 block of Sunvale Avenue in North College Hill. Officers initially responded for a report of a stabbing, but medical reports confirmed Williams had been shot.

Police arrested 26-year-old McKenzie Gray near the scene. Court documents say Gray admitted to shooting Williams. A search of Gray’s home turned up a large quantity of drugs, drug paraphernalia, drug processing equipment, cash, and a firearm. Gray was charged with murder and held on a $1 million bond. Reports indicate investigators connected Williams to drug activity and Gray’s attorney said Williams was running a drug house.

Anyone with information about what happened on Sunvale Avenue that night or who knew Williams and his movements is asked to come forward.
