9-6-2009 Ohio:Police are looking for the person responsible for the shooting death of a convicted sex offender early Saturday in Lincoln Heights.
Police responded to a 911 call around 2 a.m., the caller saying a man had been shot in the 1100 block of Simmons Ave. The first officers on the scene found 32 year old Rico M. Rutherford lying in the road, suffering from several gunshot wounds. He was taken to University Hospital, where he died.
Investigators from Hamilton County Sheriff's Office and Lincoln Height Police Department say Rutherford was involved in a verbal dispute before he was shot. The gunman was driving a 2 door gray car. The man fired several shots from the car and then fled the scene. Police don't know a make or model, and they have only a vague description of the man.

He was released from jail and put on parole on June 18th.

Fugitive arrested in Sept. 5 homicide
10-22-2009 Ohio:
LINCOLN HEIGHTS - Police have been looking for Killa Cam for a long time and on Tuesday they got him.
The Southern Ohio Fugitive Apprehension Strike Force, led by the U.S. Marshals, arrested Cameron Lamar Barron - also known as Killa Cam - about 8:10 p.m. Tuesday on Constitution Drive.
Police believe he is the person responsible for the death of Avondale resident Rico M. Rutherford, 32, who was killed in the 1100 block of Simmons Avenue on Sept. 5.
Authorities allege that Barron shot Rutherford around 2 a.m. from a gray vehicle and fled the scene. Rutherford died of several gunshot wounds. A Hamilton County grand jury indicted Barron on the charge of murder and having weapons while under disability.
Barron, 23, has been on the run much longer than a month.
A year ago police signed a warrant for his arrest in a domestic violence case after he failed to show up to court.
Now that he has been arrested he will face all of these charges.
On Thursday he was arraigned in the domestic violence case. Friday he is scheduled for his arraignment on the murder and gun charge. ..Source.. by Carrie Whitaker
