Zechariah Stookey, a 20-year-old man from Cincinnati, Ohio, was found shot to death on October 20, 2015, near the intersection of Blue Ash Road and Matson Avenue in Deer Park. Witnesses reported hearing three gunshots late that night. Stookey was pronounced dead at the scene with a gunshot wound to the head.

Within 16 hours of the shooting, 19-year-old Vincent Byrd was arrested and charged with Stookey’s murder; he was held at the Hamilton County Justice Center awaiting arraignment. Investigators said Byrd and Stookey knew each other, but the exact motive remained unclear. Byrd’s bond was set at $2 million and he also faced a charge of receiving stolen property.

Stookey’s death had a significant impact on his family and friends; his funeral was held at the First Baptist Church of South Lebanon and he was buried at Lebanon Cemetery. Does anyone have information about Stookey’s last hours or the relationship between him and Vincent Byrd?
