An 11-year-old girl, QueenErRe Reed, was fatally shot on New Year’s Day at a playground in Cincinnati’s West End. Known as Queenie, she was remembered by family and community members as sweet, kind, beautiful and always smiling. A vigil was planned as the neighborhood mourned the loss of a child to senseless gun violence.

Cincinnati police opened an immediate investigation and the ATF announced a $5,000 reward for information leading to an arrest; the ATF is assisting the Cincinnati Police Department.

If anyone was at the playground that day or has information about who was involved, please come forward to help the investigation.
