Chris Challis was 40 when he was shot late in the evening on April 21, 2006, at 1686 Blue Rock Road in Cincinnati’s Northside neighborhood. Challis, who was paraplegic, was struck in the stomach and died in hospital two weeks later. The shooting happened near an area known for bars and local establishments.

Police responded to the scene and investigated, but the motive remains unclear. Some have speculated he may have been caught in crossfire rather than singled out. Friends and family described Challis as determined and trying to move forward with his life despite the challenges of paraplegia. The Cincinnati Police Department has kept the case open and is seeking anyone with information.
