De’Marco Scruggs, a 22-year-old from Cincinnati, Ohio, was found shot to death in the yard of an apartment complex in the Roselawn neighborhood on October 26, 2015. Emergency crews treated him at the scene but he died of his injuries. The Cincinnati Homicide Unit took over the investigation after police responded around 8 p.m. to reports of a shooting in the 7100 block of Eastlawn Drive; the area was cordoned off for several hours while officers investigated.

Nearly 20 people gathered nearby, some believing the victim to be a relative, but police did not confirm the identity to the family until later that night. No suspects were identified at the time and no arrests have been made; the case remains open. De’Marco was a father to four children and is survived by family who continue to mourn.
