CINCINNATI — Cincinnati police charged a man with murder after officers found a 68-year-old dead during a welfare check Thursday morning.
Officers responded to the 6200 block of Joyce Lane at around 3:30 a.m. Thursday after the Emergency Communication Center received a 911 call requesting a welfare check on 68-year-old Terry Jones. First responders declared Jones dead upon arrival.
Hours later, police charged 31-year-old Samuel Malone III with murder in connection to Jones' death. Police said Malone was already at the Hamilton County Justice Center on an unrelated charge.
