In the early hours of April 28, 2023, 25-year-old Ryan Healey was shot near Main Street and McMicken Avenue in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. Officers responding to reports of a person down found Healey about 2:54 a.m.; he was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and later died of his wounds. His wallet was missing, and his family suspects robbery, but the motive has not been confirmed.

On February 7, 2024, Cincinnati police charged 17-year-old Anjuan Marion in connection with Healey’s murder; Marion was already in the Hamilton County Juvenile Detention Center on unrelated charges when charged. Prosecutors say Marion, then 16, allegedly fired the fatal shots from a vehicle, and the Crime Gun Intelligence Center helped link him to the shooting. A judge later ordered Marion to be tried as an adult on charges including murder, felonious assault, and improper discharge of a firearm on a public street. The investigation remains ongoing.

Ryan was remembered by family and his girlfriend as a vibrant presence who brought joy to those around him. If anyone has information that could help the Cincinnati Police Department’s Homicide Unit, contact them at 513-352-3542.
