Prayers Pouring In After Football Coach Dies In Murder-Suicide
Prayers Pouring In After Football Coach Dies In Murder-Suicide originally appeared on The Spun. Prayers are pouring in after a beloved football coach was found dead in an apparent murder suicide at 51 years old. Wayne Hall, a football coach at Highlands High School for 20 years, was found dead in an apparent murder-suicide this week. It was reportedly the result of a domestic dispute. Hall was listed as the victim in the police report, while Drew Bravard was listed in a police report as the suspect. The two men were reportedly found dead on the living room floor of a residence earlier in July. From the report: Police say the men, who were suffering from gunshot wounds, were found lying on the living room floor of a residence on Shawnee Avenue around 11:30 p.m. on July 4. One was pronounced dead at the scene and the other died at UC Medical Center. A family member told police Bravard shot Wayne Hall before turning the gun on himself. It's unclear exactly what led up to the apparent murder-suicide, but a family member told Fort Thomas police, 'Bravard always held animosity towards his stepfather, Hall, and had threatened to kill him in the past,' according to the police report. Hall, a former college football player, was beloved by the community. He was a coach for two decades and the school even named an offensive lineman award after him. Prayers are pouring in for him on social media. "Harold Wayne Hall Jr., 51, of Ft. Thomas, passed away on Saturday, July 5, 2025 at University of Cincinnati Hospital. He was a Facilities Manager with Givaudan Flavors, Inc. and was a 1992 graduate of Bellevue HS, where he played on the 1990 state runner up football team," his obituary reads. "He played college football for the Thomas More Rebels where he was a Division III All-American his senior year. Wayne came back to his Alma mater to coach football for several years and then went onto coach at Highland High School for 20 years. He has coached and mentored many students along his career and his impact can be felt throughout NKY. Wayne was preceded in death by his father, Harold Wayne Hall, Sr. "He is survived by his mother, Pamela (nee. Henley) Hall; wife, Tabatha (nee. Combs) Hall; daughters, Kaitlin & Bailey Hall and Olivia Bravard; son, Colton Hall; 2 grandchildren, Oaklynn & Ryder Torres; brothers, Phillip (Kari Williams) & Adam (Natalie) Hall; nieces, Brianna & Megan Hall and Lillie Lewis, nephews, Anthony Hall Brian Lewis, Jr." Our thoughts are with his friends and family members during this difficult time.
