Brandon Rice, 37, was fatally shot at his Cleveland Heights home in the early morning hours of February 9, 2023. Officers responded to the 3300 block of Altamont Road at about 2:48 a.m. after Rice’s girlfriend called 911 saying she had shot her boyfriend. Rice was found dead inside the residence; the couple’s 11-year-old child was at the home and was uninjured. The girlfriend was taken to a local hospital with unspecified injuries and has been described as a suspect, though no formal charges have been reported.

The Cleveland Heights police launched a homicide investigation; investigators have not released details explaining the altercation that allegedly led to the shooting. Rice, who performed as B. RICE and had pursued music and film work, is survived by his son Preston.

Can anyone who knew Brandon or who has information about what happened that night contact investigators?
