Jonathan Leron Austin was 24 when he was shot and killed on December 8, 2015, in Cincinnati’s East Westwood neighborhood. The fatal shooting occurred on the 2300 block of Baltimore Avenue near the intersection of Baltimore, McHenry, and Hawkins during a gun battle in which investigators say more than 20 rounds were fired. Three other people were wounded in the incident.

Police identified 31-year-old Anthony Rosemond Jr. as the suspect in Austin’s death. Rosemond was arrested and charged with murder and was being held on a $500,000 bond with a court appearance scheduled for December 29, 2015. Rosemond had been released on probation earlier in 2015 after serving about 12 years in prison for prior convictions.

The shooting happened in an area officers had described as a neighborhood crime hotspot, and the killing intensified community concern over gun violence in East Westwood. If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Jonathan, please come forward.
