AVONDALE, OH (FOX19) -
University of Cincinnati officials have identified the motorcyclist killed in an Avondale accident on Thursday as Chamoda Kennedy-Palmore, a UC football player and Lakota East graduate.

Sad , tragic day
What sad news. My heart goes out to his family. From what I read, sounded like a great young man.
Awful. One year and a couple days after we lost Ben Flick.
This is why I wish people wouldn't ride the damn things. Whether you're moving or sitting still, you're vulnerable. It's not a vehicle, it's a disaster waiting to happen.
Awful news. So sorry for this 19 year old's family.
I just can't believe we lost a football player two years in a row...wow very sad
Unreal. Thoughts and prayers to the family, friends, and community. Wow.
Another loss well before his time. Thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends and teammates. RIP!
Prayers to his Family, Friends, and Bearcats.
Simply tragic. Definitely feel for his family. He seemed to be a great kid, friend and teammate.
Like Ben Flick, it sounded like he was very proud to be a Bearcat and part of the team. Just very sad to hear and think about.
Prayers for all involved.
