Man Charged With Murder After Server Killed at Norwood Skyline Chili

Held without bond, the suspect faces murder charges after prosecutors cited a lengthy record of violent convictions.

Overview

  • Norwood police say a woman was stabbed inside the Skyline Chili on Montgomery Road during the lunch rush and later died at UC Medical Center.
  • The Hamilton County coroner identified the victim as 27-year-old Alyssa Hill, a mother of two and a longtime server at the restaurant.
  • Police arrested 37-year-old Rick Wright near the scene and he was charged with murder; court filings and prosecutors say he was the victim’s ex-boyfriend.
  • Prosecutors told a judge Wright should be held without bond, citing prior convictions for assault, menacing, robbery and drug trafficking plus a probation-violation warrant.
  • The restaurant and community have organized memorials and fundraising, and Skyline Chili and Coca-Cola Consolidated pledged cash and a share of sales to a fund for Hill’s children while investigators continue to probe motive.
