CINCINNATI — Police have arrested a 45-year-old man in connection to a deadly shooting at an Avondale White Castle Monday morning.
Officers responded to the 2600 block of Reading Road at around 10:15 a.m. for a report of a person shot. Police found 33-year-old Marcus Jamison suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to UC Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead.
CPD's Homicide Unit arrested 45-year-old Lashannon Hill just after 2:30 p.m. in connection to Jamison's death.
In court Tuesday, Hill's defense attorney said the shooting was a case of self-defense, but prosecutors argued Hill shot and killed the manager of the White Castle after being told he couldn't loiter inside the business earlier that day.
Prosecutors said police reviewed security footage that showed Hill waved Jamison over to his car when Jamison left the building on break; when Jamison approached the driver's side window of Hill's car, prosecutors said Hill fatally shot him.
The judge ordered Hill to be held in the Hamilton County Justice Center on a $200,000 bond.
An investigation into the shooting is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call the Homicide Unit at 513-352-3542.
