On December 14, 2002, Timothy Canady, a 22-year-old resident of Cincinnati, Ohio, was fatally shot at 406 Ludlow Avenue. According to police reports, the incident occurred during the night while Canady was at the residence of his girlfriend, Krystal White. At the time of the attack, White and Canady were asleep in the bedroom when three armed individuals, including Angelo Howard, Andre Thomas, and a third accomplice, entered the house. They were masked and armed, intending to commit robbery.
The incident escalated, leading to Canady's death by gunshot.
Timothy Canady's death appears to have been part of a broader pattern of robberies targeting known drug dealers. The offenders' plan was to rob individuals at gunpoint and use the stolen drugs for profit. During the break-in, Canady was unable to defend himself against the attackers, who eventually shot him. The violent episode was indicative of a broader wave of criminal conduct involving the perpetrators, who were involved in multiple incidents aimed at robbing and profiting from drug deals.
The case involving Timothy Canady's death became part of a series of trials for the offenders, including Angelo Howard. Howard and his accomplices were ultimately charged with multiple offenses related to their spree of violent robberies. The evidence presented in the trial linked these crimes through a common scheme, demonstrating that each of the acts was part of a broader, ongoing plan. Despite the legal proceedings, Timothy Canady's homicide remains a tragic instance of the dangerous criminal activities that plagued Cincinnati during that time. The Cincinnati Police Department continues to seek information that could help provide justice for Canady's family.
