Kyle Matthew Mirick, 25, was fatally shot the night of April 12, 2025, on Short Vine Street in Cincinnati’s Corryville neighborhood near the University of Cincinnati campus. Officers found him with a gunshot wound about 9:35 p.m.; he was taken to University of Cincinnati Medical Center and died of his injuries. The shooting occurred outside a liquor store near East University Avenue and Short Vine Street.

Surveillance footage showed two masked individuals near Mirick before one approached and produced a handgun. Investigators later alleged the armed teenager intended to rob Mirick after reportedly seeing chains and a bulge he believed was money. Reporting says Mirick pushed the gun away, tried to retreat, drew his own licensed firearm and an exchange of gunfire followed; Mirick was struck in the chest and the teenager was also wounded.

Police arrested a 15-year-old the next morning; juvenile court records listed allegations including murder, aggravated murder, aggravated robbery and carrying a concealed weapon. Records and reporting indicate the accused had a prior juvenile record, was on probation, and had removed an electronic ankle monitor days before the shooting. Mirick was a father of two who, family said, had gone out that night to buy diapers, wipes and formula and did not return home.

The case was later transferred to adult court and charges were filed. If anyone knew Kyle, his routines, or saw activity on Short Vine Street that night, can you share what you remember?
