On August 5, 2014, 37-year-old Donyale Edward Rowe of Cincinnati died after a police-involved shooting during a traffic stop. Officers Thomas Weigand and Mark Bode stopped a blue BMW SUV for an improper lane change and illegal window tint. After they removed a female passenger, Rowe fled from the rear seat. During a struggle he produced a pistol and pointed it at the officers; the officers fired six shots, two of which struck Rowe. He was pronounced dead at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.

The officers were placed on paid leave while investigators reviewed the case. Authorities later concluded the officers’ actions matched their training and policy and no charges were filed against them. The female passenger and the driver were not charged in connection with Rowe’s death; the driver faced a misdemeanor drug charge and the improper lane change citation. The shooting was one of several officer-involved incidents in Cincinnati that have drawn community concern and grief.

Did anyone in the Cincinnati area witness the traffic stop or the moments that followed and have information to share?
