Kevin Neri was 19 when he was shot and killed on May 16, 2016, outside his home in Colerain Township, Cincinnati, Ohio, after an argument with Earl Jones, the ex-boyfriend of Neri’s girlfriend and the father of her child. Jones turned himself in after the shooting and claimed he acted in self-defense; at trial a jury rejected that claim and found him guilty of aggravated murder, two counts of murder, and carrying a concealed weapon.

Prosecutors argued the killing was premeditated and vengeful. Local Black Lives Matter activists suggested the killing was racially motivated. In November 2017 Jones was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole, plus an additional three years for gun specifications. Neri’s family said he had bright prospects and hoped to attend college to become an engineer; his mother described profound grief at losing her son.

Does anyone have memories of Kevin or information about the night of May 16, 2016 that could shed more light on what happened?
