Robert Tenbrink, 45, was shot and killed by Cincinnati police on January 11, 2016, after being linked to two armed robberies at a Walgreens and a Deals store in West Price Hill. Investigators say Tenbrink used a realistic-looking Daisy BB pistol to threaten cashiers and take money. Officers Andrea Harmon and Kevin Manz encountered Tenbrink walking near Sunset Avenue shortly after the robberies. He had a tracheotomy and did not speak; officers ordered him to lie down and to stop reaching for his pockets.

When he reached for the BB pistol and pointed it at them, both officers fired, and Tenbrink was shot at least once in the face. Officers recovered the BB gun and the stolen cash at the scene. The two officers were placed on administrative leave and later cleared; city officials said the officers acted within their training and appropriately.

Has anyone in West Price Hill or the downtown Cincinnati area remembered seeing Tenbrink or the two robberies around January 11, 2016?
