JaShawn Martin was a 14-year-old freshman at Withrow University High School when he was shot and killed on March 21, 2014, in Cincinnati. He lived in Walnut Hills with his grandmother and was on his way to meet a friend when he stopped to watch a fight near Dohn Community High School. The disturbance turned deadly: JaShawn was one of four teens struck in a quadruple shooting; the other three suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Homicide detectives arrested two half-brothers, Donyell Walker and Miniko Hicks, who were arraigned on murder charges and held on $500,000 bond. Investigators initially believed the shooting was gang-related but later said it was not. The case attracted strong community attention, and JaShawn’s family and friends held a memorial at the scene.
