Michael Anthony Bishop, 29, of Covington, Kentucky, was fatally shot on the morning of September 12, 2021, in the 3100 block of Rosina Avenue. Police arrived around 11 a.m. and found Bishop had been shot multiple times in the chest; he was pronounced dead at the scene. A 33-year-old woman, identified as Alicia Haywood, was also shot in the leg and taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center in critical condition; she was expected to survive.

Bishop was a father of four and ran his own business, Bishop Painting. Family described him as having a heart of gold and willing to do anything for anyone. Authorities quickly arrested 18-year-old Keyshawn McCoy and charged him with one count of murder and one count of assault; he was booked into the Kenton County Detention Center. Bishop’s family said they had taken McCoy in and raised him like a son, a detail that intensified their grief. Motive and specifics of the relationship beyond what’s stated have not been released.
