On June 25, 2013, 34-year-old Ramone Hayden was found shot to death inside a blue Volkswagen SUV stopped on the 2200 block of Van Hart Street near Westwood Avenue in Cincinnati, Ohio. The incident occurred at approximately 9:00 AM; Cincinnati police responded and Hayden was pronounced dead at the scene. Witnesses described a suspect as a Black male wearing a red ball cap, last seen running westbound from Van Hart Street, but no arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved.

Hayden’s death is part of an active homicide investigation highlighted by the Ohio Attorney General’s Office. His family and groups including Mothers of Murdered Children have led outreach, memorials, and public appeals to keep the case visible and encourage anyone with information to contact investigators.

If anyone witnessed the shooting, saw the red-capped man running westbound that morning, or has other information that could help investigators, please come forward.
