James D Perkins II, known as J.P., was 19 when he was killed by gunfire in Cincinnati on September 18, 2008. The account available gives few details about the shooting itself, but places the death in Hamilton County and describes it as part of broader street violence affecting young residents at that time.

His funeral was held at New St. Paul Baptist Church and his memorial is at Spring Grove Cemetery. The family has not found closure and investigators say they are still seeking information that could help solve the homicide.

If anyone knew James, was in that neighborhood that night, or has tips that haven’t been shared with authorities, please come forward with what you know.
