Antonio Rogers, a 20-year-old African American male from Cincinnati, OH, tragically died on April 25, 2021, in Harrison, OH. Initially reported as an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound, the incident took place at the Shaker Point Apartments. Responding officers found Rogers suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest, and despite paramedics' efforts to save him, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
Further investigation revealed that Rogers did not shoot himself. Instead, Keyshawn Bourrage, also from Cincinnati, was identified as the shooter. Bourrage was arrested and charged with reckless homicide and tampering with evidence. He allegedly shot Rogers in the chest with a rifle and then attempted to mislead the police by moving the rifle and lying about the incident.
Bourrage was taken into custody and held at the Hamilton County Justice Center on a $35,000 bond. The case highlighted the importance of thorough investigations, as initial reports can sometimes be misleading.
