Rachel Counts, 23, was killed during a gathering at a home on Kings Run Court in Cincinnati’s Winton Hills neighborhood on the night of October 5, 2025. Prosecutors and news reports say she was playing cards with friends, including a 23-year-old acquaintance named Omarion Horne. An obituary identified her as Rachel Nicole Counts Brooks and listed surviving family, including her husband.

According to prosecutors, the evening turned deadly when Horne allegedly produced a revolver, removed all but one bullet from the cylinder, announced let’s play Russian roulette, briefly pointed the gun at his own head, then aimed it at Rachel and pulled the trigger. Police were called about 10:45 p.m.; firefighters attempted life-saving measures but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

An arrest was made the following day and murder charges were filed. Did anyone in the Winton Hills area see or hear anything that night that could help clarify what happened?
