Kennedy Heights, Ohio

From the November 20, 2006 Cincinnati Enquirer:

Jarriel Searight is charged with murder and aggravated robbery in the death of Kevin Stevenson of Mount Healthy, police said Monday night.

Searight did not fire the shot that killed Stevenson, but because he and Stevenson were committing a felony during which a person was killed, he was charged with murder, Homicide Sgt. Robert Liston said.

The person or persons who fired the fatal shot that killed Stevenson remained at large Monday night, Liston said.

Searight and Stevenson attempted to rob a street vendor in the 6500 block of Montgomery Road about 2:50 p.m., police said. While fleeing the scene, an unknown person or persons fired shots at the two robbers and struck Stevenson, killing him.

“Somebody in the crowd fired shots at the robbers,” Liston said. The person or persons who fired the fatal shots may have been acting to help the robbery victim, Liston said.
