Alexis Curtis, 48, was found fatally wounded in the parking lot of the Shady Creek Apartments on Roosevelt Boulevard in Middletown late on June 29, 2025. Responders arriving about 10:45 p.m. found Curtis with a gunshot wound to the head; she died at the scene. Obituary information and records confirm her age and place of death.

Middletown police say Curtis’s husband, Tyrone A. Crawford, 35, called 911 and reported that the gun discharged while he was removing a handgun from the couple’s parked vehicle. Investigators allege Crawford then ran inside and hid the firearm under a bathroom sink; officers recovered the weapon and arrested him that night. He was charged with reckless homicide, improper handling of a firearm in a motor vehicle, and tampering with evidence, and a judge set bond at $750,000. Detectives said the case would be presented to a Butler County grand jury and that charges could change as evidence developed. The couple had a child together.

Does anyone have information about Curtis, her movements that evening, or anything that might help clarify what happened in the Shady Creek Apartments parking lot?
