On March 4, 2023, Kinamore was found fatally shot in her home just hours before her scheduled labor induction. Her unborn child also died. Her 6-year-old son discovered her body and called his grandmother, saying, “My mommy has been shot.”

Prosecutors allege Kayvon Warren (30), the father of Kinamore’s unborn child, conspired with Robert Ervin (20) and Lamar Morris Suggs (22) to kill her after she refused to terminate the pregnancy. Investigators say Warren was facing financial trouble and had recently rekindled a relationship with his ex-girlfriend, adding another layer of betrayal to the case.

All three face two counts of murder. Warren and Ervin were arrested in August 2025 and are being held on $600,000 bonds; Suggs will be arraigned later. Defense attorneys deny Warren wanted the pregnancy terminated, claiming he “wanted the child.”

Although arrests have been made, the investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Colerain Township Police Department’s Criminal Investigative Unit at 513-321-2677.
