Fernando Reyna Oviedo Death – The man who was fatally shot in Hamilton on Monday has been identified by the Butler County Coroner’s Office as Fernando Reyna Oviedo, 41. Hamilton police discovered Oviedo at the 1100 block of South 13th Street around 2:35 p.m., where he was found shot and unresponsive. Oviedo was pronounced dead at the scene, and following an autopsy, his death was ruled a homicide by the coroner’s office.
Fermin Garcia-Gutierrez has been charged with aggravated murder by Hamilton police, a charge that was recommended by Butler County Prosecutor Michael Gmoser.
