25 people have been shot in eight days across the city with the most notable being Wednesday’s shooting in Over the Rhine near Grant Park that injured three children and one adult on McMicken Ave.
A few blocks from that crime scene is the Findlay Market and Eli’s BBQ where manager Sarah Miller has been increasingly concerned by violent crime in the region.
“When there is high amounts of crime, we don’t get as much business and it really hurts the amount of sales we’re getting,” Miller said.
“We’ve also had people who have gotten stabbed come through our side door asking us for help,” Miller said, “asking for us to call off our phones, and just having to take care of this person we don’t even know coming off the street bleeding profusely.”
Note: From 2022 to 2023, the number of homicides year to date has fallen from 33 to 23 according to Cincinnati Police crime data, but a recent rash of gunfire has increased the shooting total with 128 in ’22 and 132 this year including the six shootings reported today.
