On June 17, 2024, Andrew Rainey, a 63-year-old grandfather from Lebanon, Ohio, was shot in the abdomen after a traffic altercation at the intersection of North State Route 48 and U.S. Route 42. The conflict began when another driver reportedly cut off Rainey on Bypass 48; both vehicles continued northbound to a stop light at Route 42, where Rainey exited his car and approached the other driver’s vehicle. He was taken to Atrium Medical Center and later died of his injuries.

Lebanon police identified seven witnesses who were at or near the intersection; they agreed Rainey approached the other vehicle but gave differing accounts of his demeanor and the events that led to the shooting. The matter was presented to a Warren County grand jury on July 26, 2024. The grand jury declined to issue an indictment, and no charges were filed. The shooter’s identity has not been released.

Which detail from the witness accounts might help clarify what happened that night for those who were there or who know more?
