Suspected Serial Killer Facing Another Murder Charge

CINCINNATI -- A man accused of killing three women in the Cincinnati area since 2006 has been indicted in another homicide.

As News 5 reported last month, the Hamilton County Prosecutor's Office announced Monday afternoon that Anthony Kirkland has been accused of killing Kimya Rolison.

Rolison's skeletal remains were found in North Fairmount in June 2008. Prosecutor Joe Deters said Kirkland and Rolison were acquainted prior to her death.

Kirkland is accused of killing 14-year-old Casonya "Sharee" Crawford and 45-year-old Mary Jo Newton in 2006 and 13-year-old Esme Kenney in March 2009. He is due to stand trial on those charges in October.

Kirkland has already served a prison sentence for killing Leola Douglas in 1987.

"I hope this, in some small way, gives the Rolison family some peace. Their loved one became a victim to a vicious predator. Kirkland needs to be brought to justice for these hideous acts committed against innocent victims," Deters said in a news release.

News 5 and WLWT.com will have the latest on this story later today.

Mom Accused Of Shaking Child In Courtroom

CINCINNATI -- Deputies didn't have to go far from the Hamilton County courthouse to arrest a woman on charges of child endangering on Thursday.

Deputies said Ranisha Jones was in Judge Richard Bernat’s courtroom on Thursday morning when her 1-year-old daughter started crying.

Jones was ordered to leave the courtroom, but became agitated and disorderly, deputies said.

Jones was taken to another courtroom to be issued a disorderly conduct citation.

While in the courtroom, deputies said Jones continued to be disorderly. When her daughter started crying again, deputies said Jones held the girl up by her armpits, shaking the child back and forth as she screamed at the child to shut up and continued to blame the child for her troubles.

Deputies quickly took the child from Jones, who was charged with disorderly conduct and child endangering.

The girl was placed with another family member by Children Services.
