The shooting happened around 12 p.m. at 2225 E. Sharon Road, Sharonville Police said.

Brice, who is from Springfield Township, was shot multiple times as he was ordering food at the drive-thru, police said. Brice was pronounced dead at the scene.

Police say the male suspect is still at large and is described as 6-feet tall, 250 pounds, and wearing an all blue work-style uniform. The suspect’s vehicle is a 1997 green Ford Thunderbird with Ohio plate HFZ9451. The car has damage to the rear passenger window.

It is not clear what preceded the shooting, but this was a targeted attack and not random, according to police.

“I don’t know how long he was following him. I don’t want to speculate on anything,” said Lt.

Somebody approached the driver’s window and fired several rounds.”
