Jerome Edward Lewis II was shot and killed outside a Covington bar in the early hours of January 10, 2021. The 32-year-old Black man from Cincinnati had been inside the 30 Something Bar at 732 Greenup Street for several hours before staff escorted him out just after midnight. He returned to the sidewalk in front of the bar reportedly armed with a pistol, and was then struck once in the left temple by a fatal gunshot wound.

Covington police opened a homicide investigation, collected evidence at the scene, and interviewed multiple witnesses who were there that night. Investigators were not able to identify a viable suspect, and no arrests or charges were announced in connection with Lewis’s death.

If anyone was at the bar or on Greenup Street that night and saw what happened, please share what you know.
