Calvin James Simmons Jr., known as C.J., was 37 when he was shot and killed at his Hamilton, Ohio, home on September 16, 2016. Police found him with a gunshot wound to the stomach at his residence on University Boulevard about 3:45 a.m.; he was taken to Fort Hamilton Hospital and died of his injuries. Investigators do not believe the shooting was random and say Simmons was targeted.

Simmons was the father of five daughters, ages 8 to 18, and is remembered by family as a funny, loving man with a beautiful smile. His uncle suggested the motive may have been robbery to obtain heroin money. The Hamilton Police Department’s Investigations Division is handling the case, a reward has been offered, and no arrests have been announced.

Anyone who knew Calvin, was in the area that night, or has information that could help solve the case is asked to contact the Hamilton Police Department.
