Claude Frazier III, a 34-year-old man from Cincinnati, Ohio, was fatally shot on November 20, 2023. The incident occurred around 2 p.m. when police responded to reports of a shooting in the 6300 block of Meyers Drive. Upon arrival, officers discovered Frazier outside a building suffering from a gunshot wound. He was promptly transported to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center but succumbed to his injuries later that day.
Following the shooting, an investigation was launched by the Cincinnati Police Department. Initially, there were no suspects identified; however, as the investigation progressed, significant developments occurred. On February 8, 2024, Timothy Griffin, a 32-year-old man, was arrested on open warrants related to aggravated murder and aggravated robbery connected to Frazier's death. A week later, on February 15, police apprehended a second suspect, 24-year-old Raymond Minnifield, who was also charged with aggravated murder and robbery in relation to the case.
The circumstances leading up to the shooting remain unclear, and authorities continue to seek information from the public to aid in their investigation. The tragic loss of Claude Frazier has drawn attention to issues of gun violence in the community, and both suspects now face serious charges as the legal proceedings unfold.
