OH - Mass shooting, 9 shot, 1 dead, Colerain, 8 July 2017 *Arrests*

[JerseyGirl]

Police said that the shooting on Capstan Drive was drug-related and it was planned. Untangling misinformation and following the evidence to the point of arrest has taken 17 months.

Indicted by a Hamilton County grand jury Dec. 11 were:

James Echols, 23. He faces charges including aggravated murder, aggravated burglary, nine counts of felonious assault and eight counts of attempted murder. He was arrested Christmas Day and is being held in Franklin County, Ohio.

Michael Sanon, 21. He also faces charges of aggravated murder, aggravated burglary and multiple counts of felonious assault and attempted murder. He is being held in Franklin County, Ohio.

Roshawn Bishop, 28. He is charged with murder, felonious assault and attempted murder. He has been incarcerated at the Mansfield Correctional Institution since February on charges of drug trafficking and a weapons violation.

Last year, Echols was named as a suspect in a homicide in Columbus, which according to Columbus police happened the day after the Colerain mass shooting. In the Columbus incident, a 19-year-old man was fatally shot and a 20-year-old woman was wounded. Echols was arrested in August 2017, according to news reports, but court records indicate he was never formally charged.

From that article, the one person that actually died was not even connected to the drug activity! And, leaves behind children!
“Police did say there were no indications the Garrett family was connected to the drug activity that sparked the shootings. It was a case of wrong place, wrong time.”

From that article, the one person that actually died was not even connected to the drug activity! And, leaves behind children!
“Police did say there were no indications the Garrett family was connected to the drug activity that sparked the shootings. It was a case of wrong place, wrong time.”

This was one strange deal. The woman who claimed to be pregnant and hosted the gender reveal party wasn’t even pregnant. And then she claimed she lost her unborn baby due to the shootings. Why did she host a fake gender reveal party when she wasn’t pregnant? Did the victim 22 year old Autumn Garrett know that the woman who hosted the party was lying about being pregnant?

She lied about her pregnancy, and peeved police chief says it's slowed mass shooting probe

So the faking of the pregnancy had nothing to do with this?!

Lord...

Attorney asks judge to suppress evidence in ‘murder for hire’ case (with clip)

October 22, 2019

"CINCINNATI (FOX19) - An attorney of one of the four of the suspects indicted in a murder for hire plot that took place at a fake gender reveal party in Colerain Township, was in court Tuesday morning to get permission to suppress the evidence on the case.

Michael Sanon is one of four suspects that was arrested on numerous charges including murder and felonious assault....

Police say they sifted through tens of thousands of text messages, emails, and other evidence.

“This tedious task requires a great deal of time. In no way has this investigation hit a dead-end or gone “cold”. New information is learned daily and interviews continue on a daily basis,” Colerain Township Chief of Police Mark Denney said.

The suspects were indicted by a Hamilton County grand jury on the following charges:

-Roshawn Bishop: Two counts each murder and felonious assault and one count attempted murder

-James Echols: Aggravated Murder, Aggravated Burglary, and murder; 9 counts of felonious assault; eight counts attempted murder and one count of cruelty to animals

-Michael Sanon: Aggravated murder, aggravated burglary and two counts of murder; 9 counts of felonious assault; eight counts of attempted murder and one count of cruelty to animals
