Precious Nicole Taste was a 32-year-old State Tested Nursing Assistant from Dayton, Ohio, described by neighbors as warm and devoted to her seven children. A Meadowdale High School and Ohio Medical Career College graduate, she was four months pregnant at the time of her death.

On the morning of May 22, 2024, Dayton police responded to a reported shooting at a home on Shaftesbury Road. Inside, officers found Precious and 16-year-old Deante Johnson, both shot and pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators quickly identified a suspect, Nicole Nico Cunigan Jr., 32, who was reported to be the father of Precious’s twin children. A manhunt followed, with reports placing him in Richmond, Indiana, and possibly Cleveland; he was also seen with his distinctive dreadlocks cut in an apparent attempt to alter his appearance.
