Shooting Suspect
Howard Beatty, a resident of the West End neighborhood of Cincinnati, turned himself in to Cincinnati Police Chief Thomas H. Streicher, Jr. on the evening of April 12, 2006 for the shooting of Kabaka Oba / Michael Bailey. Reportedly, Oba identified Beatty as his attacker to emergency workers.
Howard Beatty was initially charged with felonious assault, a charge that was upgraded to aggravated murder on April 20, 2006 due to Kabaka Oba succumbing to his injuries on April 15, 2006. The case was scheduled to be presented to a grand jury on April 28, 2006.
Municipal Court Judge Elizabeth B. Mattingly set bond for Beatty at one million dollars and ordered Beatty be held on another $50,000 bond for violating the protection order against him, which ordered Beatty to stay 500 feet from Oba. However, it was revealed in trial court proceedings Howard Beatty was never served those protective order papers to stay away from Bailey. What was revealed at trial was that Michael Bailey/Kabaka Oba was the aggressor that terrorized and repeatedly went on public access television and radio threatening Howard Beatty, his family and his business.
