SOUTH CUMMINSVILLE - A Burlington man was shot to death early Tuesday, becoming Cincinnati's 72nd homicide victim.
Nicholas Miller, 36, was found about 2:45 a.m. in the 2200 block of Millvale Court. Officers were dispatched after someone called 911 and reported hearing shots fired.
Miller was found inside a gray Ford Taurus, which witnesses said had its engine running. Police said they also found bullet holes in other vehicles parked along the street.
Miller was put on probation in 1996 for drug possession and was cited in 2002 for possession of a crack pipe.
No one had been arrested as of late Tuesday. Detectives ask anyone with information to call Crime Stoppers at 352-3040.
Police say man had camera in bathroom
A 35-year-old Springfield Township man whose home was a popular neighborhood hangout is expected in Hamilton County Common Pleas Court today on charges that accuse him of secretly videotaping children and adults who used his bathroom.
Robert Wolsefer was indicted Dec. 18 on 12 charges of illegal use of a minor in nudity-oriented material or a performance and two charges of voyeurism. One victim was 5 years old, according to court documents.
A couple visiting Wolsefer in November discovered a videotape, recognized a woman and some of the children and reported Wolsefer to the Springfield Township Police Department.
Authorities say Wolsefer had a motion-sensitive camera in the soap dish of his bathtub and a camera inside the toilet paper roll. The cameras captured the victims in various states of undress, according to prosecutors.
Second man sentenced to 15 years in rape
LEBANON - The second man convicted in the rape of a Hamilton Township mother of three last year was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
David William Hope, a 19-year-old Louisville man charged in a string of home invasions and assaults elsewhere, will serve the Ohio sentence after he completes a 10-year sentence in Kentucky, said Warren County Prosecutor Rachel Hutzel. Hope also was designated a sexual predator, which requires him to register with authorities for life. He also faces charges in Indiana.
Hope's sentence mirrored that of accomplice Edward Lee Kessinger, who pleaded guilty to charges of rape, burglary, kidnapping and robbery.
The two were accused of ambushing the 45-year-old woman as she left her house. Authorities said Hope and Kessinger hogtied the woman, raped her repeatedly, then ransacked her house, stole her car and left her in her bedroom closet.
A township detective traced the suspects through phone calls made on the victim's stolen cell phone.
