Robert Lewis Andrews, a 40-year-old male from Cincinnati, Ohio, died in the early morning hours of Friday, April 10, 2026, after a shooting in the Hartwell neighborhood. Police said Cincinnati District 4 officers were called to De Camp Avenue around 4 a.m. for a report of a person shot. When officers arrived, they found Andrews suffering from gunshot wounds, and emergency responders began life-saving measures, but he did not survive.
The scene unfolded before dawn on a residential
stretch of De Camp Avenue, where authorities quickly established a large police presence. Reports from the scene described investigators focusing attention on a dark-colored vehicle, with a broken driver's-side window and shattered glass scattered in the street nearby. The Cincinnati Police Department's Homicide Unit took over the investigation, treating Andrews' death as a fatal shooting.
Early reporting indicated that at least one person was detained after the shooting and described as a person of interest who was cooperating with investigators. Police were careful not to call that person a suspect at the time, and no publicly available report identified the detained person by name. Other reports stated that police had not announced any suspects, leaving the case in an active investigative stage.
As of the latest available online reporting, no arrest, formal charge, indictment, trial, or conviction has been publicly reported in connection with Robert Andrews' death. Police continued asking anyone with information about the shooting to contact Cincinnati homicide investigators or Crime Stoppers, suggesting that authorities were still working to determine exactly what led to the gunfire and who was responsible.
