Velar Brown, 32, of Lockland, Ohio, died of gunshot wounds on November 17, 2014, after a shooting on the 600 block of West Wyoming Avenue. Emergency crews were called about 3:15 p.m.; Brown and 23-year-old Patrick Washington were both found shot and Brown was pronounced dead at UC Medical Center. Investigators initially sought occupants of a white Kia believed to be involved, but later determined the two men had shot each other.

Brown had been wanted by police since early September on an allegation he stabbed a woman in the leg. Washington had pleaded guilty earlier in the year to disorderly conduct after being found beating a man on the same block. No arrests were made in connection with the November shootings because officials concluded the men shot each other. Brown’s mother publicly urged an end to the violence in the community.

If anyone witnessed the incident or knew Brown or Washington’s movements that afternoon, please share information that might clarify what happened.
