Cincinnati Police believe the murder of an 18-year-old early Friday morning in East Price Hill was a revenge killing.

It happened at Warsaw and Elberon. According to Cincinnati Police, Raymond Jennings died at University Hospital.

Witnesses say they saw a man walk up to Jennings and shoot him point blank.

"We don't know what precipitated it," said Cincinnati Police Captain Russ Neville.  "We don't know if it was a robbery. We just haven't gotten to that point yet," he added.

If you have any information, you're asked to call Crime Stoppers at (513) 352-3040.

If you take the time to go to the clerk of court and look someone record up you must not have a life, and everyone can make mistake and it is sad what happen to this young Man and may he RIP and I'm praying for his family and what the young Lady said you can pay your respect but to just walk in front of people cars and act like you have the right away is wrong we better learn how to treat each other with respect. And young people respect people and then maybe people will say ok they are young let's give them a chance and do something postive with them and who know' maybe we can start helping each other out with problem instead of not.

His criminal background was not his PAST...he was 18 and these records are from when he was 18...that isn't past, it is present. Live by the sword die by the sword. To many people, this is one less thug who will not be able to hurt someone else, steal from someone else or sell drugs to another child. When your picture as a VICTIM of a crime is your own mug shot...well that speaks volumes. To say he was a good boy, is...well...not very believable.

realtalk: It's common behavior in the 'hood for people to just shuffle out in the middle of the street and give out malevolent looks to motorists. I once pulled into a bad neighborhood and a crowd of young people had the street partially blocked. They would slow and surround each car on both sides. They had some sort of RIP signs with a name on it, and were trying to intimidate people into "donating". They were not very pleasant when told "no thanks." There is also a problem near high schools with certain students walking down the middle of the street and blocking traffic.

R.I.P. to the deceased. I have no problem with the fact that people were having a memorial for him, but they were acting extremely rude. A girl walked right out in front of me (I was driving there was no crosswalk) and she gave me a look that said "say something to give everyone here an excuse to f@%k you up". I felt this was rude and I feel that some of the crowd gathered there were there for the right reason which was to remember everything good about the poor guy that lost his life, and part of the crowd were their to do that and look for an excuse to f@%k somebody up. I feel this is wrong. anyway i have been affected by things like this in the past so my condolences definitely go out to the family's loss, but deal with the loss the right way.

You guys are really stupid and need some serious help, Lord help if something happens to your family memebers like this; its always to look in and throw stones when we all live in glass houses ourselves! This is my little cousins brother and there is no need to be ugly at a time that a family is in pain. It is crazy to say what your teenager will not do r will do, I mean come on everyone has a past and no parent can completly control their teenage child flat out!!! When the parents work and the child is supposed to be in school to begin with so cut it out please and stop judging when you dont knw all the facts. And another thing he was well taking care of didnt have to do any of the thing he did but at the time he was a minor period.......... And dont act like your children do not disobey rules in your households and outside of them also but cuz your a fool if you think their not. Its a tough world and you can't base it off how it was when you were growing up if thats the case we wouldnt have poeple killing their own children, mothers n fathers, teachers, classmates, raping babies, so many single parent homes, 75% living on proverty, millions of children living in foster care, no jobs, prices uprise, homeless,ect ect.........

Clerk of Courts info is public info. Anyone who does not want their record looked up on their should endeavor to stay out of trouble with the law.

I wonder if the counterfeit drug charge had anything to do with it? That is dangerous.
