On June 20, 2021, Courtney Evans, a 41-year-old man from Cincinnati, OH, was found dead on Elmore Street near Borden Street. He had been shot to death, and two other individuals were injured in the incident. The police responded to a call for multiple people shot around 12:30 a.m. and discovered Evans dead from a gunshot wound. Another victim with a gunshot wound was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, while a third victim arrived at the hospital later for treatment.
Steven Young, a 36-year-old man, and Brandie McKenzie were both charged with the murder of Courtney Evans. Young was also facing a gun charge due to a past conviction that prohibited him from possessing a firearm. Both suspects were indicted on August 25, 2021, but neither was in custody at the time of the indictment. Steven Young surrendered to the police and was arrested, while Brandie McKenzie turned herself in to face the charges.
The investigation revealed that Evans' death was part of a larger shooting incident, but the exact circumstances leading up to the shooting have not been disclosed by the police. The case remains under investigation, and the suspects are awaiting trial for their roles in the murder of Courtney Evans.
