A Cincinnati man identified by police as the gunman who shot an employee of singer Nick Lachey’s sports bar on Thanksgiving has turned himself in to authorities. Lavoris Hightower, 36, turned himself in Thursday night after the Cincinnati Police Department identified him publicly as the man who shot Ellie Richardson, 27, Fox 19 reported. Richardson was leaving work at Lachey’s Bar around 3 a.m. Thanksgiving morning when she was walking across the street in the city’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood when a van nearly hit her, police said. Richardson and Hightower, who was driving the van, got into an argument before Hightower shot her in the face, according to Fox 19. "First, Hightower nearly runs Ms. Richardson over with his car, and then he shoots her — unbelievable.”“Cincinnati has worked very hard to improve the area where the shooting occurred.
