Treyvond Bedford was 19 when he was shot to death on June 28, 2015, in an apartment on Irving Street in Cincinnati’s Avondale neighborhood. He was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center but did not survive his injuries.

The person accused was a 16-year-old male, Jamarta Borden, who turned himself in about 20 hours after the shooting. Borden and Bedford were friends; the shooting followed an argument over cellphones. Borden admitted to the shooting and was charged with reckless homicide with a gun specification. He received a five-year placement in the Ohio Department of Youth Services, with an additional three years for the gun specification.

Bedford’s family expressed grief and disbelief, saying nothing was worth losing his life over. The shooting remains under investigation; anyone with information about that night is asked to come forward.
