Jariell Dean, a 27-year-old African American man from Cincinnati, was fatally shot in the head on May 27, 2014 while sitting in his vehicle in the parking lot of Richie's Restaurant at 1301 Linn Street in the West End neighborhood. According to police reports, Dean tried to flee after the shooting by accelerating his car but crashed into the side of the restaurant; he was taken to the hospital and died the next day.

Police arrested 21-year-old Dathan Hall of Springfield Township and charged him with murder. Investigators say Hall fired multiple rounds at Dean’s vehicle; Hall was already scheduled to appear in court on unrelated aggravated menacing and assault charges when the murder charge was added. Dean’s family and friends held a memorial service and the community expressed support for the family.

Are there witnesses or local residents who remember the scene at Richie's Restaurant that night or who can help fill gaps in the timeline?
