Anthony Creer Jr., 36, was fatally shot just before 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, after stepping off a Metro bus in the 800 block of West Liberty Street in Cincinnati’s West End. He was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center with life-threatening injuries and later died. Witnesses reported hearing four to five gunshots; investigators placed evidence markers near a black backpack and a single white sneaker at the scene and cordoned the area.

By that evening Cincinnati Police had arrested 33-year-old Robert Davis and charged him with murder in connection with the shooting. Cincinnati Metro confirmed the victim had exited one of their buses and said it would cooperate with the police investigation. The motive remained unclear in the immediate aftermath.

Did anyone in the West End see what happened at the bus stop that morning or recognize the belongings left at the scene?
