A Bond Hill man was arrested in connection with his father's death Monday, police said.

Cincinnati officers responded to the 5100 block of Grafton Avenue around 5:20 a.m. for a report of a person shot.

When investigators arrived, they reported that Corey Matthews, 48, was already dead.

Police have arrested Brandon Evegan-Matthews, 28, in connection with the death. Evegan-Matthews is the son of victim, detectives said.

Public records list both men's most recent addresses as the same Grafton Avenue residence.

Evegan-Matthews was accused of attacking his father twice previously, but in both cases, the charges were eventually dropped.

In 2014, he was charged with felonious assault after he was accused of cutting Corey Matthews with a pair of scissors.

In 2015, he was charged with domestic violence after he alleged hit his father in the head with a cooking pan.

Cincinnati police are still investigating the killing. Anyone with information is being asked to call 513-352-3542.
