De'Marco Scruggs, a 22-year-old African American male from Cincinnati, OH, tragically lost his life on October 26, 2015. He was found shot to death in the yard of an apartment complex in the Roselawn neighborhood. Emergency crews attempted to treat him at the scene, but he succumbed to his injuries. The Cincinnati Homicide Unit took over the investigation, but no suspects were identified at the time, and no arrests have been made since.
The incident occurred around 8 p.m.
when police responded to reports of a shooting in the 7100 block of Eastlawn Drive. The area was cordoned off for several hours as officers conducted their investigation. Nearly 20 people gathered nearby, suspecting the victim was a relative, but police did not confirm the identity of the victim to the family until later that night.
Despite the ongoing investigation, no further information about the circumstances of the shooting or potential suspects has been released. The case remains open, and the Cincinnati Police Department continues to seek information that could lead to the identification and arrest of those responsible for De'Marco Scruggs' death.
De'Marco was a devoted father to four children and a beloved son, brother, and grandson. His family and friends continue to mourn his loss and seek justice for his untimely death.
