Jydale Keith, a 20-year-old man from Cincinnati, Ohio, was found dead on April 1, 2016, inside a car in North Fairmount with multiple gunshot wounds. Police initially responded to reports of a traffic accident but called in homicide detectives after discovering the gunshot injuries. The vehicle was in a wooded area at the bottom of a hill below the Hopple Street bridge; the Hamilton County coroner removed Keith’s body before the car was towed.

Two arrests followed the investigation. On April 4, 2016, 22-year-old Cordero Lane was arrested and charged with murder. A second suspect, 29-year-old Jeremy Johnson, was arrested on May 3, 2016, and also faced murder charges. The case drew attention locally as authorities worked to determine the events that led to Keith’s death.

If anyone has information about Keith, the location under the Hopple Street bridge, or the days around April 1, 2016, please come forward.
