David Francy, a 47-year-old man from Cincinnati, OH, was tragically shot and killed on March 6, 2022. Francy was found in the hallway of an apartment building on Georgia Avenue in Northside, Cincinnati, with multiple gunshot wounds. The incident occurred just 15 minutes after another shooting in Green Township, where 27-year-old Richard Kelsay was also shot and killed.
The suspect in both murders, 23-year-old Marc Henderson from Delhi Township, was arrested shortly after the shootings.
Police connected Henderson to the crimes after responding to a possible overdose at his home, where they found him wearing a bulletproof vest with ammunition. Henderson admitted to the killings, claiming he had been given tainted drugs by the victims. He was charged with two counts of murder and later pleaded guilty to two counts of involuntary manslaughter.
Henderson was sentenced to 26 to 33 years in prison for his crimes. The case drew significant attention due to the rapid sequence of events and the tragic loss of two lives within such a short time frame.
David Francy was remembered by friends and family as a gentle giant with a big heart. He was a loving father, brother, and friend who enjoyed playing the guitar and spending time with his children and animals. His untimely death left a profound impact on those who knew him.
