Welcome to Arrest Stories. A forty-year-old Cincinnati man has been charged with murder after allegedly beating the mother of his child to death with a homemade wooden club while children were present in the home. Here's what may have happened.
On December thirtieth, Cincinnati police were called to a home in the eighteen hundred block of Hewitt Avenue in the Evanston neighborhood just before three o'clock in the afternoon. Officers discovered thirty-six-year-old LaKeisha Malone dead inside the residence, suffering from what authorities determined to be blunt force trauma.
According to court documents, Andre Michael Redmond allegedly attacked Malone with a homemade club fashioned from a piece of wood. Prosecutors say Malone was in bed and possibly asleep at the time of the attack, which occurred at Redmond's home on Hewitt Avenue. The killing took place while children were reportedly present in the residence.
Law enforcement officials described the scene as particularly disturbing. One detective involved in the case stated, "I've spoken with the detective in this case because of this morning and he described this as one of the bloodiest scenes that he has been at."
Court records indicate that Malone was the mother of Redmond's child. Emergency crews responded to the call for what was initially reported as a suspicious death before the investigation revealed the circumstances surrounding Malone's death.
Redmond faces murder charges in connection with the incident. He was scheduled to appear in court, with proceedings continuing as the case moves through the legal system. A grand jury was set to review the case on January ninth to determine the next steps in the prosecution.
The incident has shocked the Evanston community, particularly given the presence of children during the alleged attack and the brutal nature of the crime as described by investigators.
All suspects presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Do not take this report as factual, always verify facts. Thanks for watching Arrest Stories.
