Street justice in Cincinnati. Update to this previous story.
Via WBTV:
A Hamilton County grand jury returned murder indictments Thursday morning against two men accused in the “disgusting” and race-related slaying of a motorist who accidentally hit a 4-year-old boy, Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters announced.
The boy’s father, Jamall Killings, 24, and Deonte Baber, 25, are accused of killing Jamie Urton,44, of Mason, an employee for the Cincinnati Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired, on March 24.
Killings faces an additional charge of felonious assault.
Urton was driving back to work about lunchtime when he accidentally hit a 4-year old boy in the 2300 block of Kenton Street with his car and pulled over to check on him.
The boy was not seriously hurt, and the accident was not Urton’s fault, Deters said Wednesday.
Killings was not watching his 2 and 4-year-old children, he said, and each wandered into the street. That’s when tthe 4-year-old was hit.
Killings immediately went to the car and beat Urton up, knocking him semi-unconscious.
“You would think your first instinct would be to run to your 4-year-old,” Deters said. “No, his first instinct was to go to the car, open the door and start beating the driver.”
It’s even more disturbing what happened next, Deters said.
Baber came out with a gun and yelled at Urton’s passenger, telling him “Get out of here, you’re black,” according to Deters.
Then Baber opened fire, shooting his gun five times. Urton was shot once and bled to death, Deters said.
