Steve Watkins, 41, of Hamilton, Ohio, was shot to death and found in a back room of a Hilda Avenue house on June 18, 2014. He was discovered alongside 29-year-old Lacey Rutherford; the two had been dating about two months. Friends described Watkins as a good person who was trying to get his life back on track and had recently reconnected with his daughter and was expecting to meet his newborn grandson.

Alfred Ike Rutherford, Lacey’s father, was arrested about nine hours after the shooting at Joyce Park in Hamilton and charged with two counts of murder and one count of obstruction of official business. Police reported finding multiple firearms in the home, including at least nine guns. Rutherford later admitted to the killings, saying an argument with his daughter over a missing handgun that he believed had been pawned for drugs led to the shootings; he pleaded guilty to aggravated murder in Watkins’s death and murder in Lacey’s and was sentenced to life without parole under a plea deal that avoided the death penalty.

Several children were present at the house during the shooting, and the murders had a deep impact on the community. Does anyone have information about Watkins, his relationship with Lacey, or the events that night?
