Kaleb Evans, an 18-year-old from Cincinnati, Ohio, was shot and killed on October 13, 2024, around 10 PM in the 3300 block of Lakeview Avenue during what has been described as a violent incident. Emergency responders tried lifesaving measures but Evans was pronounced dead shortly after being transported to the hospital. Authorities say the shooting grew out of a dispute that escalated into violence.

Evans’s family and friends remembered him as a vibrant young man, and the death has prompted calls in the community for efforts to address gun violence.
