Iesha Givens, a 28-year-old Black/African American woman, died on July 23, 2025, in Springfield, Ohio. Loved ones remembered her in funeral notices as Iesha Raeshele Givens, born October 2, 1996, and living in Springfield at the time of her death. Authorities and public databases list the date and city of her killing as July 23 in Springfield.
Police were called to the 100 block of East Cecil Street around 3:45 p.m., where officers found a woman suffering multiple gunshot wounds; she
died at the scene. Two days later, Springfield Police publicly identified the victim as 28-year-old Iesha Givens.
Investigators quickly focused on her boyfriend, 28-year-old Marcus J. Hasan. News reports describe two 911 calls made before and after the shooting from the couple’s north Springfield home, capturing an argument and Hasan identifying the woman as his girlfriend; additional reporting notes that Hasan contacted emergency services and acknowledged firing the shots. He was taken into custody after the killing.
In the weeks that followed, a Clark County grand jury indicted Hasan on charges including murder, felonious assault, and domestic violence, according to court records cited by local media. Coverage of the indictment and earlier arrest ties those charges directly to the shooting death of Iesha Givens.
