Keelin Broach was 31 when he was shot and killed on May 3, 2014, in a Mount Airy apartment in Cincinnati, Ohio. The shooting occurred during a robbery that left two people dead; Broach and his friend Beyoncia Willis were killed and a third person was shot but escaped to get help.

A 22-year-old defendant, Baron Brand, was arrested, charged and later convicted on multiple counts including murder, aggravated murder and robbery. He received two life sentences without parole plus 49 years. Prosecutors described the killings as executions; the trial record notes Brand showed no remorse. A second defendant, Devon Isome, was tried but the jury was unable to reach a verdict and a decision on whether to retry him was pending. The prosecution’s case against Isome rested largely on one witness who left the apartment shortly before the shootings and later identified him; no physical evidence was reported tying Isome to the scene.

Families of the victims pushed for justice and the community held prayers for peace. If anyone knew Keelin Broach or has information about the May 3, 2014 robbery-homicide, please come forward.
