Charles Kevin Blankenship was 24 when he was shot dead on August 1, 1995, on the front porch of a neighbor’s house in the South Fairmount neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. The neighbor, Charles Cole, fired four shots as Blankenship approached the porch; the shooting was captured on Cole’s home security system and Blankenship died at the scene.

Cole told authorities Blankenship had been harassing him and that he acted in self-defense when Blankenship stepped onto his property. Prosecutors said the killing was premeditated and that Cole had planned it. On November 17, 1995, a jury found Cole guilty of murder and sentenced him to life in prison; Cole was released on November 3, 2004, after serving just under nine years.

Does anyone have information about the events leading up to that August night or about the people involved?
