On April 8, 2024, at about 10:12 a.m., Cincinnati police responded to a shooting in the 2600 block of Reading Road in Avondale. Officers found 33-year-old Marcus Jamison, manager of a White Castle restaurant, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Later that day investigators arrested 45-year-old Lashannon Hill. According to authorities, Hill had been waiting for his girlfriend’s shift to end and had been asked earlier to stop loitering inside the restaurant. Prosecutors say Hill waved Jamison over to his vehicle, then shot him multiple times after Jamison approached the driver’s side window. Hill later turned himself in, surrendered a 9mm handgun, and admitted firing the shots while claiming he believed Jamison was about to assault him. His attorney noted Hill’s impaired vision may have affected his perception. Hill was charged with murder and held on $200,000 bond; the homicide investigation remains ongoing.

Does anyone who was in or near the White Castle that morning have information about what happened before the shooting?
