Broderick McGhee, 35, was found shot to death on March 16, 2013, inside the office of MKM Custom Motors on Central Avenue in Hamilton, Ohio. Police and fire units arrived about 10:37 PM after reports of a shooting; McGhee was pronounced dead at the scene. A 911 caller identifying himself as McGhee’s brother can be heard urging him to get up, but medics could not revive him.

McGhee started MKM Custom Motors about a year before his death and was described by family and community members as someone trying to turn his life around. He had prior drug-related arrests between 2007 and 2011, but those who knew him said he had been rebuilding his reputation through his business. The slaying was Hamilton’s first homicide of 2013. No suspects have been identified and investigators have not determined whether the killing was connected to drugs or gang activity. Posters and outreach efforts have kept the case visible in hopes someone will come forward with information.

If anyone knew Broderick or has information about the shooting at MKM Custom Motors, please share what you know.
