Ryan Johnson, 32, was shot multiple times just after midnight on August 29, 2025, in the parking lot of a Taco Bell on the 1000 block of Gest Street in Cincinnati’s Queensgate neighborhood. First responders from the Cincinnati Fire Department attempted to save him, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. Police say the gunman fled in a vehicle; investigators combed the lot for casings and began collecting surveillance video and witness accounts while the restaurant closed for the day.

Relatives and coworkers identified Johnson as a manager who had been working that night and was on a break when the shooting occurred. Friends and family have been posting remembrances and memorial pages marking the date and place of his death.

Did anyone working the late shift at that Taco Bell or anyone who was nearby that night see anything that could help investigators?
