Cievion Smith, 32, was shot to death the night of June 9, 2025, near June Drive and Williams Street in Fairborn, Ohio. Officers were dispatched about 10:38 p.m. after reports of gunfire and found Smith with multiple gunshot wounds. Neighbors and friends said an argument had preceded the shooting and later left a small memorial reflecting his interest in video games and Star Wars.

Investigators quickly identified a suspect, 38-year-old Brandon D. Peters of Fairborn. Peters was located and taken into custody in Oak Grove, Kentucky, on June 12 and was reported to be awaiting extradition to Ohio. A Greene County grand jury later returned an indictment on July 9, 2025, charging Brandon D. Peters with three counts of murder and two counts of felonious assault, including drive-by shooting specifications. Court proceedings were then set in Greene County Common Pleas Court.

If anyone witnessed the shooting near June Drive and Williams Street that night or has information about what led up to the argument, please come forward.
