Morgan Myers was 20 when he was shot and killed on the night of June 9, 2025. Police were called about 10:35 p.m. to the 11000 block of Brookway Drive after a person was reported shot inside a vehicle; officers found Morgan in the driver’s seat, unconscious and unresponsive with a gunshot wound. He was taken to Mercy Fairfield Hospital and pronounced dead. His parents later learned he had been left in the car for about an hour before he was found.

Detectives determined the shooting occurred during an arranged drug transaction involving Morgan and two teenagers. In July 2025 two 16-year-old males — one from Cheviot and one from Springfield Township — were arrested and charged with aggravated murder and aggravated robbery. The cases were resolved in juvenile court by plea agreements: one teen pleaded to aggravated murder and was ordered to remain in detention until he turns 21; the other pleaded to aggravated robbery and received a one-year juvenile correction facility sentence.

Morgan was remembered by family as the oldest of ten siblings, a goofy young man with a big smile who loved his family. His mother later founded Morgan Myers Legacy to honor him through community good deeds. Does anyone have information about Morgan’s last hours or the arranged transaction that led to his death?
