The AG's office told us local law enforcement enters missing persons into their database.We reached out to Cincinnati police to ask whether Owens was considered missing in the two years before his death, but they have not clarified yet.After the shooting, we spoke with Pastor Ennis Tait, a local advocate who works directly with youth in the community. Tait specifically focuses on keeping youth away from gun violence.So, when something like this happens, we feel the thunder of that incident as it ripples throughout our neighborhood," Tait said. ...read more read less
