On January 18, 2017, nine-year-old Alexandrea Thompson of Cincinnati was shot and killed during a home invasion at her family’s Mount Auburn residence. Known as Sissy, she was a fourth-grade leader at Mount Auburn International Academy and described as a bright, caring student. Alexandrea was taken to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center and pronounced dead; her father, Alex Thompson, was also shot but survived. Reports say a bullet that struck Alexandrea may have passed through her father.

Investigators say a group of men entered the home looking for money or drugs. Arrests followed nearly a year later: Azuriah Hoskins Jr. and Ke’von Smith were charged with murder, and Chyanne Daniels faced charges including murder, felonious assault, kidnapping, and aggravated robbery. Ke’von Smith later pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and other charges and received an 18-year sentence; Hoskins’ case remained pending.

Does anyone have information about that night or remember Alexandrea and her family?
