Aaron Myles was a 26-year-old Black man from Cincinnati who was shot and killed on the evening of August 27, 2024, in the Bond Hill neighborhood. Around 6:42 p.m. officers were dispatched to the 1700 block of Garden Lane after a report of a person shot and found Aaron inside his vehicle with multiple gunshot wounds. Cincinnati Fire Department personnel began life-saving measures and he was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he was pronounced deceased. The Cincinnati Police Department’s Homicide Unit opened an investigation.

By mid-October two men had been publicly connected to the case. On October 17 police arrested 20-year-old Javione Bradford; prosecutors said Bradford admitted demanding cash and marijuana from Aaron and firing shots as Aaron rolled up his car window. On October 24 court documents showed 19-year-old Jahontae Mills was indicted alongside Bradford on aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault and aggravated robbery; Mills had earlier been accused of giving detectives a false statement. Both defendants were facing charges and the investigation remained ongoing as of October 2024.
