18-year-old & 17-year-old charged with killing 15-year-old & 19-year-old in robbery turned triple shooting

CINCINNATI — Cincinnati police have arrested a second suspect in the shooting death of a 15-year-old and a 19-year-old earlier this month.

A 17-year-old male is charged with murder for the deaths of 15-year-old Nonaisha Jones and 19-year-old Logan Lawson.

Last week, 18-year-old Jaylan Dubose was also charged with causing their deaths.

According to court documents, on the evening of December 13, Dubose and Jones were attempting to rob Lawson and another individual while inside a vehicle parked at the Heirlooms of Cincinnati Apartments on Joyce Lane. The property sits on the line between Roselawn and Bond Hill.

During the confrontation, gunfire broke out. Lawson, Dubose and Jones were struck, investigators said. Someone drove the vehicle to Montgomery Road in Norwood. That's where police pronounced Jones dead at the scene. Lawson was transported to the hospital where he later died.

Dubose was found near the 5000 block of Reading Road in Bond Hill. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition.

According to a CPD press release, Dubose is currently recovering from injuries. He will be transported to the Hamilton County Justice Center at a later date.

Police did not provide details on how the 17-year-old was involved in the killings. However, he is expected to appear in juvenile court Wednesday morning.

WCPO is not releasing the name of the 17-year-old since he is currently not being charged as an adult.

Police did not say who shot who but said that Dubose and the 17-year-old are responsible for their death of Jones and Lawson as a result of committing the aggravated robbery.

Jones was a student at Woodward High School.

Lawson was a former Winton Woods High School quarterback.
