Derek Hail, 25, was fatally shot in the Winton Terrace housing complex in Cincinnati on May 2, 2016. He was found in a courtyard just before 11 a.m., taken to University of Cincinnati Medical Center, and died of his injuries. Police quickly classified the incident as a murder and opened an investigation.

Within days investigators identified 30-year-old Antwaun Rice as the primary suspect. Rice was charged with one count of murder and one count of drug abuse; he turned himself in on May 4, 2016, and was booked into the Hamilton County Justice Center. Authorities said the shooting was likely connected to drug-related activities, though specific details were not publicly disclosed.

Anyone who knew Derek, witnessed the shooting, or has information about the events at Winton Terrace that morning is asked to come forward.
