Rafeal Ross, aged 22, was shot and killed on January 2, 2011, in Cincinnati, Ohio. The incident occurred at 3540 Reading Road, an area in the Avondale neighborhood. This homicide was one of the first of the year, taking place only hours after New Year's Day. The Cincinnati Police Department has been involved in the investigation, and the case remains unsolved to this day. Despite efforts from local authorities, there have been no arrests or major leads, and it continues to be a cold case.
Rafeal, who was born on October 7, 1988, and known to friends as "Ralph," was described by those who knew him as a young man with potential, whose life was tragically cut short. Authorities have asked anyone with information about the case to come forward, hoping to get leads that might bring justice to Ross and his family. Crime Stoppers and the Ohio Attorney General's office continue to highlight this case in hopes of encouraging the community to help solve it.
