On February 8, 2023, 34-year-old Jovon Ferguson-Lynch of Cleveland was shot in the head and killed at her home near Huntmere Avenue and East 161st Street. Court records identify her 35-year-old estranged husband, Joshua Lynch, as the suspect; their 7-year-old daughter was in the house when the shooting occurred. After the killing, the suspect reportedly attempted to clean the scene with a Swiffer, moved the child upstairs leaving a trail of blood, placed Jovon’s body in the trunk of her car and fled with the child across multiple counties before running out of gas.

He later gave the child to a relative and on February 13, 2023 turned himself in to police. Joshua Lynch was indicted on aggravated murder, murder, felonious assault, having weapons under disability, endangering children and gross abuse of a corpse. Prior convictions in Cuyahoga County, including a 2017 case alleging he threatened Jovon with a gun, were noted in court records.

Does anyone have information about Jovon, the household, or events leading up to February 8, 2023?
