Joshua Howard, 28, was fatally shot in Cincinnati on December 26, 2016, around 2:30 a.m. He was found in the driver’s seat of his silver BMW 645 convertible with the top down in the 1200 block of Main Street in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood, having sustained multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead at the scene.

Witnesses reported a lone gunman approached the vehicle, fired multiple times, then fled on foot. Some witnesses also reported a green SUV with temporary tags leaving the area, though police could not confirm its involvement. Authorities believe Howard was specifically targeted rather than the victim of a random act. He was expecting his first child, a son, who was due within days, and was laid to rest at Vine Street Hill Cemetery in Cincinnati. No arrests have been announced and the case remains unsolved.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the Cincinnati Police Department’s Homicide Unit at 352-3542 or submit a tip through the Ohio Attorney General’s website. Does anyone have information that could help bring Joshua’s killer to justice?
