Jaymir Deshea Hill, 15, was shot and killed on July 9, 2025, in the Wyoming neighborhood of Cincinnati near Burns Avenue and Washington Avenue. First responders found him shortly before 4 p.m. with a gunshot wound to the shoulder; he was taken to UC Medical Center and later died. The Hamilton County Coroner’s Office identified him and loved ones held a vigil the next evening on the street where he was shot. Funeral notices and memorial pages set services for early August.

Investigators from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office and Wyoming police described the shooting as an isolated incident. Within a day a 14-year-old was arrested and charged with murder; a second 14-year-old was later charged with tampering with evidence. Reporters and prosecutors said the encounter grew out of a reported gun sale between the teens that resulted in the fatal shot. Court proceedings have begun in juvenile court, with prosecutors seeking transfer of the murder charge to adult court and a judge permitting a competency evaluation before any bind-over decision. Tip-line information remains open.

If anyone saw the shooting or has information about the reported gun sale, please share tips with investigators.
