Three people were injured -- one severely -- following separate shootings in Over-the-Rhine early Wednesday morning.

Cincinnati police responded to calls reporting injuries from shootings in the 1300 block of Walnut Street about 3:30 a.m.

One of the victims was brought to a nearby fire station before being taken to a hospital. Police said the victim needed surgery, but additional information on that person’s condition was not known. Police didn’t provide identities of the two other victims either.

Trawana Cooper, whose mother was one of the shooting victims, called the shootings “senseless.” Cooper sat with her mother eating food she just purchased outside her mother’s apartment just before the shooting.

Not long after hearing gunshots from inside the building, her mother spotted a gun being tossed under a gate used to secure the building’s entrance. Cooper said her mother helped move her away from the gun when she was struck. Cooper said she called 911 after helping her mother get to a nearby building for safety.

“I wasn’t aware of anyone else being shot,” Cooper said. “Once the police came, they said there was another gentleman that was shot and was taken to the hospital and they walked a gentleman out from the third floor. He was also shot in the leg.

“I’m in shock. If my mom wouldn’t have moved me, there’s no telling where I could have been shot.... or if she was shot elsewhere, I wouldn’t be sitting here talking to you right now. I may not have a mother behind this. It’s senseless. It’s stupid and real dumb.”

Cooper, whose mother suffered a non life-threatening injury, said she has already lost a brother to gun violence. Her brother, Eric Briggins, was shot and killed in 2007 at the Fay Apartments.

Cooper said she is actively trying to convince her mother to move away from the area to move into a home with her and her son.

COVINGTON (WKRC-TV)- The FBI, SWAT Team and Covington Police now say nine
people, including four brothers, are under arrest after a drug raid this
morning in Northern Kentucky.

Local 12 was first on the scene when authorities started serving warrants
in the area of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Garrard Street sometime
before 6:30 a.m.

The Louisville office of the FBI says the raids are the end result of a 15
month drug trafficking investigation. The names of those arrested and the
exact charges they face have not yet been official released by officers.

Local 12 has learned that several homes in Covington and one on Mount
Auburn were raided by the officers. Two of the homes were owned by Ella
Blackwell and her husband. Ella tells Local 12 that her sons are not
involved in drugs. "Everything we got we worked hard for. They even took
my 2007 Mustang that I paid $700 a month for five years and they don’t
tell you why... I just leave everything in the Lord’s hand. He will take
care of me.”

Ella described the first moments of the raid early on Wednesday morning.
“I am just devastated being woke up a quarter to six this morning with
rifles, shotguns, 10-15 FBI’s, Covington cops, all at my door. Pulled out
and told me shut up. Handcuffed my husband, brought my husband out of the
house, they still haven’t told me why.”

Local 12 continues to follow this story and we'll post new information as
soon as it is available.

COVINGTON, Ky. - A 15-month FBI investigation resulted in the arrests of
nine people involved in a suspected drug trafficking ring throughout
Covington and Cincinnati Wednesday morning.

Multiple searches were conducted on Covington and Cincinnati
neighborhoods, according to Perrye K. Turner, special agent in charge of
the Kentucky FBI office.

About a dozen agents were seen going in and out of a house on Helen Street
in Mount Auburn.

In Covington, a house on West 12th Street was searched for several hours.

Ella Blackwell, who lives there, said her son was arrested. She denied her
son was involved in drug activity.

“If they check his system, all they're going to find is some damn weed.
That's what tees me off because they always get the wrong people. The
people they should get they never touch,” Blackwell said.

FBI agents confiscated a 2007 Ford Mustang GT along with Duke Energy
bills, Columbia Savings Bank receipts, a hand-written note, a Quik Stop
receipt and a Garmin.

Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard at Greenup Street in Covington was closed
during the investigation but eventually reopened.

Also participating in the raids were police agencies from Cincinnati,
Covington, Erlanger, Florence and Independence, along with the FBI
Cincinnati Safe Streets Task Force and the Northern Kentucky Drug Strike
Force, according to an FBI release.

"Drug trafficking severely erodes our communities and this investigation
is an excellent example of how law enforcement partnerships are the most
effective weapon to combat crime," Turner stated.

Criminal complaints will be filed out of the U.S. Attorney's Office,
Eastern District of Kentucky.

William Hart case: Madeira robbery suspect accused of shooting store owner

CINCINNATI -- A man accused of robbing a Madeira store and shooting the
owner more than nine months ago is due back in court.

Police have accused 37-year-old William Hart of robbing Madeira Beverage
on Sept. 5, 2012 and shooting the owner, Roop Gupta.

As Hart fled the store following the robbery, officers said he fired four
rounds from a small black pistol. Gupta, 60, was hit once in the abdomen.
Gupta was taken to University Hospital where he was stabilized.

The owner's wife was also in the store when it was robbed. Police said she
was thrown against a wine cellar, but still tried to chase the suspect
after he fled on foot.

Police arrested Hart two weeks after the robbery during a routine traffic
stop in Golf Manor.

Hart has been charged with two counts of aggravated robbery, two counts of
felonious assault and one count of weapons under disability.

He has a hearing in Hamilton County Court at 9 a.m.

CINCINNATI - Cody Uffer was walking down Race Street 10 days ago and a man
asked him for a dollar for the bus.
Uffer obliged, but when he pulled out a $10 bill instead of a dollar bill,
the man tried to snatch it out of his hand.
“I carry pepper spray and I went to use it, but he saw me reaching for it
and tore the spray off my neck,” Uffer said. “He sprayed me with it and
ran.”
Uffer said in the seven months he’s been living in Over-the-Rhine, he’s
noticed an uptick in crime. Statistics bear him out: In the first six
months of this year, aggravated assaults are up by 33 percent in OTR
compared to last year.
That spike in crime has some in the community on edge, including Uffer.
And the early Wednesday morning shooting that injured three people near
the intersection of Walnut and East 13th streets had the community talking
– again – about crime, joblessness and societal woes that have plagued the
Cincinnati neighborhood for decades.
Police believe the shooting, which left all three with non-life
threatening injuries, was the result of a drug deal gone bad, said
District 1 commander Capt. Gary Lee.
That shooting comes just one month after two fatal shootings. On June 9,
Antonio Wright, 32, was found on the sidewalk, shot in the head near his
home in the 1700 block of Race Street. Police arrested a suspect in that
case. On May 24 in Goose Alley near Race and Vine streets, police found
William Barnes, 29, fatally shot. Police have not made an arrest in that
case.
OTR Residents Anxious, Searching For Solutions
What’s fueling the problem, residents said, is the increase in drug abuse
and joblessness.
People are simply getting more desperate.
“It has gotten worse, and I think it’s because people are getting
desperate for money – there is a lot of alcohol and drugs use in the
area,” said Uffer, who works at a restaurant downtown.
So far this year, police have responded to 40 aggravated assaults compared
to 30 for the same time period last year in Over-the-Rhine. There have
been three homicides compared to only one last year, according to
Cincinnati police data. But reported incidents of rape, robbery, burglary,
theft and vehicle theft are all down compared to last year.
Shootings throughout District 1, which includes Over-the-Rhine, the West
End, Queensgate, Pendleton and Mount Adams, are up nearly 38 percent
compared to same time period last year.
But the recent violence bucks the two-year trend in District 1. Reports of
total violent crime are down 26 percent and homicides are down 64 percent.
Uffer said the stigma of not cooperating with the police must be broken
for the neighborhood to experience real change. Lee agreed.
“We ask the people to keep the police informed and to report suspicious
activates,” Lee said. “If they have information on previous crimes of
violence, let us know.
“In fact, the victims most of the time refuse to cooperate, which then
perpetuates the whole cycle.”
Lee said much of the violence involves street drug traffickers targeting
other traffickers. Police call it “crime-on-crime” opportunities, which
result in a cycle of retaliation, he said.
“If you’re going to engage in a risky lifestyle, you run the risk of being
exposed to violence,” Lee said.
Lee credited the arrest of Dekwan Pickett, 17, to the community
cooperating with the police. A warrant was issued eight hours after
Pickett was charged with aggravated murder in the fatal shooting of
Riccardo Branham in the West End on July 1. To combat the violence, police
target those with a propensity for violence and known drug traffickers who
are often the targets of violence, Lee said.
“People willing to step forward and tell what they know, and if that
happened with every case, the violence will be eliminated – I’m not naive
enough believe that, though,” Lee said.
Richard Butz, who has lived in the neighborhood for four years, tells a
different story.
He said he rarely feels unsafe walking the streets, but believes that if
more people live in the community, rather than just come for a visit,
there will be less violence.
“I take my dog out at 2 a.m. and I feel fine,” Butz said. “Isn’t crime
everywhere, though? First of all, the politicians need to stop talking
about abortion and talk about jobs – they win elections talking about jobs
but don’t do anything about it.”
For Willard Clark, 53, a resident of Over-the-Rhine for 40-plus years, the
onus of teaching young people the dos and don’ts rests on the shoulders of
the older generation. Job creation will also foster a more harmonious
neighborhood for everyone, he said.
“The responsibility falls on older black people, we know what to do and
what not do so we need to teach that to our kids,” Clark said. “We can
stop the violence if we come together as a community and prevent our kids
from going down the wrong path.

As if more evidence were needed about the tragedy of black education, Rachel Jeantel, a witness for the prosecution in the George Zimmerman murder trial, put a face on it for the nation to see. Some of that evidence unfolded when Zimmerman’s defense attorney asked 19-year-old Jeantel to read a letter that she allegedly had written to Trayvon Martin’s mother. She responded that she doesn’t read cursive, and that’s in addition to her poor grammar, syntax and communication skills.

Jeantel is a senior at Miami Norland Senior High School. How in the world did she manage to become a 12th-grader without being able to read cursive writing? That’s a skill one would expect from a fourth-grader.

Jeantel is by no means an exception at her school. Here are a few achievement scores from her school: Thirty-nine percent of the students score basic for reading, and 38 percent score below basic. In math, 37 percent score basic, and 50 percent score below basic. Below basic is the score when a student is unable to demonstrate even partial mastery of knowledge and skills fundamental for proficient work at his grade level. Basic indicates only partial mastery.

Few Americans, particularly black Americans, have any idea of the true magnitude of the black education tragedy. The education establishment might claim that it’s not their fault. They’re not responsible for the devastation caused by female-headed families, drugs, violence and the culture of dependency. But they are totally responsible for committing gross educational fraud. It’s educators who graduated Jeantel from elementary and middle school and continued to pass her along in high school. It’s educato
rs who will, in June 2014, confer upon her a high-school diploma.

It’s not just Florida’s schools. According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, nationally most black 12th-graders test either basic or below basic in reading, writing, math and science. Drs. Abigail and Stephan Thernstrom wrote in their 2004 book, “No Excuses: Closing the Racial Gap in Learning,” “Blacks nearing the end of their high school education perform a little worse than white eighth-graders in both reading and U.S. history, and a lot worse in math and geography.” Little has change
d since the book’s publication.

Fred Reed:

"Why is schooling so poor for black children? To begin with, because blacks
have little enthusiasm for academics. Blacks have demonstrated for an end to
discrimination, more welfare, less brutality by police, greater rights, more
pay, and greater respect. They do not march for more homework, harder
courses, thicker texts with larger words and smaller pictures. Another
reason is that the teachers' unions resist the dismissal of the incompetent
in a profession that already gets the dregs of the intellectual barrel.
Finally, politicians are terrified of blacks, who complain that the
imposition of academic standards constitutes a form of imperialism."

CINCINNATI - The man accused of killing a 15-year-old girl in
Over-the-Rhine in June 2012 is due in court Monday morning.
Officials charged Harold Croft, 36, with five felony counts, including
counts of aggravated murder and murder with specifications. If convicted
on all counts, Croft could face life in prison without the possibility of
parole.
Police say Croft killed Africa Hope on June 18. Croft allegedly aimed to
shoot Maurice McEntire but instead shot and killed Hope.
Croft had previously been convicted and served time for voluntary
manslaughter, trafficking in cocaine and drug abuse.
“Another innocent young person lost to avoidable gun violence — it is a
tragedy,” Hamilton County prosecutor Joseph T. Deters said.
In addition to the murder counts, Croft was charged for feloniously
assaulting McEntire and with two counts of having weapons under
disability.
Croft is due in court Monday at 9 a.m. for the start of his trial.

One black man suffered seven gunshot wounds but is expected to survive
following a gun battle, Cincinnati police Lt. Michael Savard said late
Tuesday.

That man and a second man were shot around 8:30 p.m. in the 500 block
of Hale Avenue, Avondale. One victim was treated at University of
Cincinnati Medical Center for a gunshot wound to the leg; a second
victim with seven wounds "all over his body," including his chest, was
stabilized at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, the first
hospital the man's girlfriend was able to find as she drove away from
the shooting scene, Savard said. That man was later transferred to
University also, Savard said.

One of the men came to the other man's apartment building, brandishing
a gun, and the other man also had a gun, Savard said.

That led to a shootout in a hallway, Savard said. The two men exchanged
about a dozen shots, if not more, Savard said.

Investigators didn't know what type of dispute led to the
confrontation, Savard said, because one victim wasn't talking and the
other one was unable to talk because of his medical condition.

"While fatalities persist in every major metropolitan area across the
nation, there are of course certain cities most impacted by violent crime.
Take Cincinnati, for example, where, after the fatal shooting of a young
black man by a white police officer in 2001, a wave of riots ensued. Since
that time, Cincinnati has set the record for the number of murders carried
out each year, with a persistent violent crime rate at a staggering 88
percent.
"The now all-too-familiar statistics reveal that black males are killed far
more often than any other demographic: "The vast majority of people being
murdered are African American in the City of Cincinnati," said Hamilton
County Prosecutor, Joe Deters in an interview.

"The vast majority. Well outside the 40 percent of the population it should
be. In 2009, the City of Cincinnati did not have a single white victim of a
homicide. (That) tells me that we have a subset in the underclass of
Cincinnati which is committing a lot of violent crime and they tend to be
black.
And the reality is, you almost always commit murder within your racial
classifications. So when we've got a young black man up in the coroners
office, it's almost always a result of another young black man shooting
him."

"That same year, 2009, no white men were killed in Cincinnati, but 44 black
males and 11 females were the victims of homicide in the city."

As a Hamilton County poll worker, Melowese Richardson helped people
exercise a precious right.

Today, because she voted illegally in the name of others, including one
who was in a coma, she was sentenced five years in prison. Hamilton
County Common Pleas Court Judge Robert Ruehlman could have imposed the
maximum prison sentence of six years after Richardson was convicted in
May of four counts of illegal voting in exchange for prosecutors
dropping four other charges.

Three of her four convictions involved voting for a relative who has
been in a coma since 2003. Richardson was a Hamilton County poll worker
since 1998 but that ended when she was indicted.

Fellow election workers recognized her handwriting on ballots from the
same address, information that helped lead to her convictions.
Richardson, 58, of Madisonville, admitted she voted illegally in 2008,
2011 and 2012 elections:

o In the November 2012 election, Richardson admitted she voted twice,
using a normal and absentee ballots. Because she had access as a poll
worker to the voter registration book, she noticed her absentee ballot
request hadn't been updated as of election day. She signed the
registration book and voted a normal ballot knowing she'd submitted an
absentee ballot a week earlier;

o In 2008, 2011 and 2012, Richardson admitted forging the name of and
illegally voting for her sister, Montez Richardson, who has been in a
coma since 2003.

She became the third person convicted this year of illegal voting in
Hamilton County.

The other two - Sister Marguerite Kloos, 55, of Delhi Township, and
Russell Glossop, 76, of Symmes Township - were given diversion. That
means if they follow the judges' orders and do nothing wrong in the
next year or so, they likely will have their cases expunged and will be
allowed to vote again.

The difference between them and Richardson is they voted for a deceased
roommate, in the nun's case, and a deceased spouse while Richardson was
convicted of illegal voting in three different elections and
essentially said early in the investigation she had and asked what
authorities were going to do about it.

Three others also have pending charges of illegal voting in Hamilton
County.

CINCINNATI
The acquittal of George Zimmerman in the fatal shooting of an unarmed teenager has sparked further debate.

Attorneys argued that Zimmerman was acting in self-defense when he shot and killed 17-year-old Trayvon Martin last year in Florida, and a jury apparently agreed.

So did Hamilton County's prosecutor.

"The people that are going crazy with this verdict probably didn't watch the trial but more importantly don't care about the evidence," said Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters.

The prosecutor appeared Monday on Bill Cunningham's WLW-AM program.

"What if Travyon had gotten off of George Zimmerman and walked home?" Cunningham said.

"I don't think he'd be shot," Deters said.

"He'd be alive," Cunningham said. "He'd be alive today. So Trayvon Martin contributed to his own death."

Zimmerman initially claimed self-defense under Florida's "Stand Your Ground Law," but his attorneys did not pursue that defense during the trial.

Ohio does not have the same law, but it does have the "Castle Doctrine."






"The 'Castle Doctrine' only protects you if you're inside your vehicle or a family member's vehicle or in your home," said Shannon Campbell, of Campbell Firearms Training. "It doesn't protect you if you're out here in the open in the public."


Deters said Zimmerman would not likely have been prosecuted if the shooting had taken place in Hamilton County.

"If he believed he was in fear of losing his life or serious physical harm and shot as he's being pummeled, I can't imagine it," Deters said.

Deters says he believes politics is the only reason the case did got to trial.

"There was a lot of political pressure," Deters said. "I think someone determined we need to have a trial, this is a case that has to be tried, come hell or high water we're going to have a trial."

Ohio's House is considering a Stand Your Ground law that's part of House Bill 203, which would expand the state's self-defense laws.

A black man was taken into custody after a shooting in Mt. Auburn on
Wednesday night, Cincinnati police said.

A police search dog found the suspect hiding in a Highland Avenue
building about 7 p.m.

His name and charges were not released.
About an hour earlier, a man was shot in the stomach nearby, in the 100
block of Kinsey Avenue.

A second man has been charged with a homicide that happened four years
ago in Butler County.

Police in the city of Hamilton charged Jayson Brown, 29, of Hamilton,
with murder in connection with the Dec. 14, 2009 slaying of Steven
Denmark, at 216 South 11th St., a news release said Wednesday.

The arrest of Brown comes more than three months after police from
Cincinnati and Hamilton arrested another man, Corey A. White, in his
Mount Airy apartment. A Butler County grand jury had issued a secret
indictment charging White with murder, aggravated robbery and
aggravated burglary in Denmark's death.

Denmarks girlfriend found him mortally wounded from multiple gunshots
inside their home.

At the time of Whites arrest, Hamilton Police Chief Scott Scrimizzi
said the same two detectives, Patrick Erb and Jim Smith, had been
working on the case since it first began and their determination paid
off.

White, 24, is scheduled for a plea or trial setting hearing in Butler
County Common Pleas Court next week.

Information on Browns court hearing was not immediately available.

CINCINNATI - A man accused in the shooting death of a pregnant woman is scheduled to appear in court Thursday morning.

Leonard J. Lanier, 26, was apprehended by police in the 1200 block of Sunset Avenue on April 10. Officers said Lanier was arrested on operating a vehicle while intoxicated warrants and a warrant in connection with the death of 21-year-old Strawberry Edwards.

Detectives said Edwards was found shot to death inside a home located in the 700 block of Dutch Colony Drive on Feb. 21. She was three-months pregnant at the time of the incident.

Edwards brother, Ruebenn Knox, said Lanier was trying to get through Edwards' back door on the night of the incident when they started fighting.

“But I guess it got heated and it got physical, and I guess, I don’t know, through anger, jealousy, whatever it was, I guess he pulled a gun and shot her," Knox said.

In a 911 call made by Lanier's mother, she told police that her son showed up at her home with Edwards' 5-month-old son and told her that he had shot Edwards six times.

"My son just told me that he had shot his baby's mom and.... he said he shot her six times," Lanier's mother said in the call.

CINCINNATI - There aren't too many summer days when you won't find Ken
Hayes, Russ Hughes and Dan Wagner sitting quietly at a table in
Over-the-Rhine's Findlay Playground playing dominoes.

"We're out here with family events — kids and dominoes," Hayes said
Monday. "This is what we do."

However, that calm was interrupted around 1:30 p.m. by the sound of a
flash grenade and SWAT team members entering a building across the park at
1818 Vine Street.

Cincinnati police were serving a search warrant on the building that used
to be Pepper Lounge and now is home to Professional Styles Salon. A
shooting occurred on in the vicinity of the building six to eight weeks
ago.

District One Commander Capt. Gary Lee said an investigation determined
there is violent criminal activity originating out of the building. So,
police used a new tactic to try and stop it — place-based investigations.

"The Cincinnati Police Department is not only pursuing violent offenders,
but we're also pursuing violent locations," he said. "It's our goal that
when we identify locations where violent offenders are visiting or able to
use that as a base to work out of that those are going to become primary
places of interest for us."

Hayes and the others looking on liked what they saw.

"It's a good idea to me because stopping the violence is what we need," he
said. "There's too much violence going on."

The warrant was very specific — see if there were drugs and guns in the
building and whether there were documents listing the names of the
building owners and whether any criminal activity was taking place there.

Capt. Lee said Monday's activity was designed to put the neighborhood on
notice that violent crime will not be tolerated anywhere in the city.

"We already know who the violent offenders are that are working from
inside this location," he added. "We'll be getting them later."

Police are also putting the word out that building owners have to know
what's going on at their properties.

"What we want people to understand is they cannot allow criminal activity
to take place on their property, even if they aren't directly involved in
that criminal activity," said Capt. Lee. "If they're allowing it to occur,
it creates a problem for the community and it's going to create a problem
for them."

Back at Findlay Playground, Russ Hughes said he supports the new police
strategy as a way of cleaning up the neighborhood.

"I want a nice peaceful neighborhood like I used to have when I first grew
up here," he said. "I've been here all my life. I'm 56 years old. I want
kids to have a place to go and don't have to worry about looking over your
shoulder."

Dan Wagner seconded that thought.

"It's a good idea that they put into place," he said.

Solving violent crime is something that police can't do on their own,
according to Capt. Lee.

"Without the support and cooperation of the people in the community — the
neighborhoods, the business owners, the everyday residents that frequent
these streets — we will never be as effective as we could be if we had
their full partnership," he said.

CINCINNATI - Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters announced a 24 count
indictment against a registered sex offender in relation to three unsolved
rape cases that occurred in 1995 on Monday.

Stanley Lightner, 45, was arrested and charged with raping two 12-year-old
girls and a 19-year-old woman between March 13 and April 1, 1995.
According to Deters, Lightner forced himself on all three victims at
gunpoint and threatened to kill them.

Lightner served nearly a decade in prison after a 1996 conviction on
charges of attempted rape, attempted kidnapping, robbery, and felonious
assault. Deters said an investigation connecting Lightner to the current
24 counts was sparked after United States Marshals completed a sweep of
local sex offenders with out-of-date residency registrations.

On June 11, U.S. Marshals picked Lightner up at the Cincinnati Museum
Center, where he worked as a cook for Sodexo, a contracted catering
company. Deters stated Lightner had not maintained a recorded current
address with authorities at the time. A DNA sample was taken from Lightner
after the Marshals' sweep.

That swab matched DNA collected from the 1995 unsolved rapes when ran
through the Combined DNA Index System, Deters reported.

The counts against Lightner Deters outlined include 13 counts of rape, 4
counts of felonious sexual penetration, 5 counts of kidnapping and 2
counts of felonious assault.

"Lightner deserves to spend the rest of his life in prison," Deters said.
"His crimes were horrific and he changed the lives of his victims
forever."

Deters also released images of Lightner, both from 2013 and 1996, stating
he believed there may be more rape victims in the community. His office
was asking anyone with information about additional incidents to come
forward.

Deters described Lightner's alleged mode for attacking his victims in
1995.

The first rape Lightner was charged with allegedly occurred on March 13,
1995 in the 5900 block of Rhode Island Avenue. Deters stated investigators
believed Lightner took the 12-year-old victim into a garage by gunpoint
and then proceeded to rape her.

The second 12-year-old victim was allegedly taken from a laundry room in
an apartment complex by gunpoint into a wooded area near Glengate Lane,
where she was raped on March 16, 1995, Deters stated.

The third incident that was part of the announced indictments took place
on April 1, 1995 and involved a 19-year-old woman who was taken into a
wooded area near Windsor Street and Saint James Avenue.

Deters requested anyone with additional information contact his office at
513-946-300 or CrimeStoppers at 513-352-3040.

Big turnout likely even with whites leading ballot

The black vote: For the first time since 2001, Cincinnati will not have a
serious black mayoral candidate running for office. Wil black voters show
up in strong numbers at the polls?

Gay Black Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory generated excitement among black
voters during the past two mayoral elections, and before him popular
television anchor Courtis Fuller played that role.

Even without a serious black candidate at the top of the ticket this
November, though, political experts and informed onlookers expect the
city’s black vote to show up strong and, ultimately, to decide the
election.

• Meet the next mayor and tell us who you’re voting for

“African-American votes are where this race will be won or lost,” said
Hamilton County Republican Party Chairman Alex Triantafilou.

As Cincinnati prepares for a mayoral primary Sept. 10 – early primary
voting will begin Tuesday – the candidates themselves don’t disagree on
the pivotal role of black voters, with top contenders John Cranley and
Roxanne Qualls working to earn support. Other candidates include
Libertarian Jim Berns and Sandra Queen Noble, who is African-American and
has run for president, Congress, mayor and city council; she finished last
among 22 candidates in the 2011 City Council race.

Qualls said that, even though the race lacks a formidable black mayoral
candidate, she doesn’t anticipate a drop-off in voting among
African-Americans because City Council members are being elected at the
same time.

Coming off a council session in which African-Americans held a racial
majority, a Cincinnati first, as many as a third of the council candidates
this year are black, with all five incumbents in the race.

“The black vote is not homogenous, but it does tend to be a significant
voting block,” Qualls said.

Cranley said he’s reaching out to the black community because the current
administration has failed it.

“The city is roughly 50-50 white and black, so it is essential that all of
our citizens feel ownership of their city,” said Cranley. (The 2010 census
found the city is actually 44.8 percent black, though it’s 50.7 percent
minority.)

The consensus issue among African-Americans, say community leaders ranging
from black-church ministers to social service agency heads, is the economy
– job creation, income disparity and unemployment.

Even as the national overall unemployment rate remained even from May to
June at 7.6, it ticked up from 13.5 to 13.7 percent nationally for
African-Americans. The economic gap is as wide or even wider in Greater
Cincinnati, where in the 15-county region in 2010 median household income
for blacks was $29,705 compared with $55,227 for whites.

“The top issue is economics,” said Jim Clingman, who is serving as interim
president of the 2,500-member Cincinnati NAACP branch because President
Christopher Smitherman is running for council re-election. National bylaws
prevent Smitherman from holding the office while campaigning.

Both candidates have plans for addressing employment.

Cranley’s would pay for job training for 600 people and create 379
full-time jobs.

Qualls’ plan, in part, proposes closer ties and programs incorporating the
African-American and Hispanic chambers of commerce.

Poverty cuts deep in many black communities. In Avondale, for example, an
estimated 49 percent of people 20-24 are unemployed, and throughout the
neighborhood 40 percent of the people do not have access to a vehicle,
compared to a citywide rate of 22 percent.

What past elections might foretell for this one
Cranley and Qualls ran against each other once before.

In 2007 – the only time Cranley and Qualls were together on a council
ballot – Cranley outperformed Qualls by more than 200 votes in Ward 7.
Covering much of Bond Hill and Roselawn, Ward 7 is widely considered the
African-American bellwether. Qualls, who will hold a campaign event
tonight in Bond Hill, at Allen Temple AME Church, had slight edges in 2007
in some other predominantly black wards: 3 (Evanston), 13 (Avondale/North
Avondale) and 14 (Kennedy Heights/Pleasant Ridge).

In 2009, when Qualls was a council candidate, she ended up getting more
votes than Mallory got in his head-to-head contest with Republican Brad
Wenstrup – 41,290 for Qualls, 36,444 for Mallory.

• Find all the latest news in the mayoral race

In earning more votes than any of the 18 other council candidates in 2009,
Qualls did better in the African-American community than any of the black
candidates. In predominantly black precincts, she won 66 percent of the
vote, while taking 54 percent in predominantly white precincts. Cecil
Thomas, an African-American who resigned his council seat earlier this
year, took 64 percent in the mostly black precincts.

“The African-American community knows the power of its vote,” said Thomas,
managing the council campaign of his wife, Pamula Thomas. “The energy of
the Obama years, 2008 and 2012, is still there.”

But, said Laketa Cole, a former Cincinnati councilwoman and recording
secretary of the Bond Hill Community Council, “all politics is local, and
it is my hope we get out the vote for the primary.”

Black churches and social service agencies will make sure their
constituencies vote. At the Urban League of Greater Cincinnati, president
and CEO Donna Jones Baker said her agency will sponsor a candidates’
forum, issue position papers on issues such as job creation and encourage
registered voters to get to the polls.

“The black community sees that things are getting better, but we’re being
left behind economically,” Baker said.

The pulpit is power in black neighborhoods. As pastor of 1,900-member
Corinthian Baptist Church in Avondale, the Rev. K.Z. Smith will encourage
churchgoers to be informed voters. And he said he is encouraged that
Cranley and Qualls both appear sincere in their interest in the well-being
of Cincinnati’s black citizens and commitment to redevelop neighborhoods.

Smith is concerned about what happens to returning citizens, the people
released from Ohio prisons who come home to Cincinnati neighborhoods. Each
year, 2,100 ex-offenders are released from Ohio prisons return home to
Hamilton County alone. The county also has 5,000 felony probationers,
criminals convicted of serious crimes but sentenced to probation instead
of prison; 202 live in the 45229 area code, which covers most of Avondale.

Mayor Mallory's word carries 'significant weight'
The two biggest issues: privatizing parking and building a streetcar.
Qualls supports both; Cranley has built his campaign around opposing them.

“I do think John Cranley will be very attractive to African-American
voters because they share his views on those issues,” Republican leader
Triantafilou said.

It’s been a dozen years since the top of the city ticket has been without
a black candidate.

And, of course, Mallory defeated his white opponents in the last two
elections.

“There’s no question that support from African-American community pushed
Mark Mallory over the top,” said Hamilton County Democratic Party Chairman
Tim Burke.

Burke sees both candidates courting the black vote. And both have support
from prominent local black leaders.

Council members Charlie Winburn and Smitherman support Cranley, as does
former mayor and councilman Dwight Tillery. But Qualls has Mallory and
Councilman Wendell Young’s votes.

“I think the mayor’s word continues to carry significant weight,” Burke
said.

Gene Beaupre, a Xavier University political science professor, put a
geographic analysis on his reasoning that African-American voters could
decide who the next mayor is.

“If you were simplifying the race, you would give more votes on the West
Side to John and more to Roxanne on the East Side,” Beaupre said. “So it
could easily come down to black voters.”

He anticipates both candidates will be out in the African-American
community, “running a door-to-door, church-to-church,
barber-shop-to-barber-shop campaign.”

“They have to establish themselves on a personal level and motivate these
voters,” Beaupre said. “Black voters are not going to care about
commercials, they will care about candidates they have a relationship
with.” ?

COLERAIN - Colerain police are looking for a man they believe shot a handgun during an aggravated robbery at a Walmart Monday afternoon.
Police are searching for G Quan Palmer, a man they say shot his weapon when a Walmart loss prevention officer attempted to stop him and another suspect, Mohammad Stewart, during a suspected shoplifting incident.
The incident occurred at 8451 Colerain Avenue and both men fled the store before Colerain police arrived.
Through use of security footage, police said they were able to identify Palmer and Stewart. Stewart was apprehended Tuesday without incident by Colerain police department's Criminal Investigative Unit.
Authorities with Colerain police said Stewart confessed to aggravated robbery and a burglary that occurred earlier in the month.
Both Colerain police and the U.S. Marshal Service continue to search for Palmer. Courts signed warrants for aggravated robbery and burglary against Palmer.
Stewart was transported to the Hamilton County Justice Center.
Anyone with questions or information is asked to call the Colerain Police Department Criminal Investigative Unit at 513-321-COPS (2677) or Crime Stoppers at 352-3040.

CINCINNATI - Two men charged in connection with the death of an Avondale man during a drug bust are scheduled to appear in court Wednesday morning.
Cincinnati police said an officer shot and killed Dontez Oneal, 19, in November 2012 after he fired a gun at the officer.
The shooting occurred after undercover police officers said they bought heroin from Robert "Bobby" Mathews in Winton Terrace. Mathews, 23, lives in Avondale and is described by police as a prominent gang member involved in drug activity throughout the city.
The undercover officers followed a car that allegedly contained Mathews, Oneal and Gerry Branner, 22, from Winton Terrace to Avondale. That's when they requested a uniformed officer to stop the suspects, said then-acting Police Chief James Whalen.
Officer Orlando Smith attempted to stop the car on Burton Avenue. The vehicle made a U-turn and attempted to leave, but Smith's cruiser blocked its exit. At that point, Oneal allegedly pointed a gun at Smith and fired, but missed the officer.
Smith returned fire, hitting Oneal at least five times, including once in the head. Oneal died shortly afterward. One of Smith's bullets also hit Mathews in the arm; Mathews was seated behind Oneal in the vehicle.
Mayor Mark Mallory said the incident was tragic and mourned the loss of life, but added that it's also a lesson about what can happen when people don't listen to police.
Mathews has retained Eric Deters as his attorney. Deters has said his client was unarmed and initially denied medical treatment by police.
Branner will face charges of murder and Mathews will face charges of involuntary manslaughter in a scheduled court appearance at 9 a.m

One man has been arrested but police were still looking for a second
suspect, who allegedly fired a handgun during a struggle with
loss-prevention officers at the Colerain Township Walmart store.

Mohammad Stewart, 19, is charged with complicity to aggravated robbery and
complicity to burglary, police said, and warrants have also been signed
for G Quan Palmer, 18, on charges of aggravated robbery and burglary.

The charges stem from an incident at the store, 8451 Colerain Ave., on
Monday. Around 2:30 p.m., �Mohammad Stewart and G Quan Palmer were
observed committing a theft offense,� a news release said.

Loss-prevention officers tried to stop both suspects, and �Palmer produced
a handgun. At some point during the struggle, Palmer discharged the weapon
into the ground,� the release said. No one was injured.

Colerain Police Department�s Criminal Investigative Unit worked with
loss-prevention officers and others to identify Palmer and Stewart as the
suspects. Colerain detectives arrested Stewart on Tuesday without
incident. �Stewart confessed to the aggravated robbery and also to a
burglary that occurred earlier in the month,� a news release said.

Colerain detectives and the U.S. Marshals are searching for Palmer.
Stewart was being held in the Hamilton County Justice Center.

Anyone with questions or information is asked to call the Colerain Police

Department�s Criminal Investigative Unit at 513-321-COPS (2677) or Crime

COLERAIN TOWNSHIP - Police say they seized 80 pounds of marijuana and
$417,760 in cash after serving a search warrant at a township home
last week.

Colerain Township Police Chief Dan Meloy said police found the money
and the marijuana at 3195 Deshler Drive on July 17 after serving a
search warrant. Court documents said the bricks of marijuana seized
were packaged for distribution.

Police arrested Francis Akorli, 32, who lived at the house, on July 19
charging him with trafficking in drugs and possession of drugs. Bond
was set at $250,000 on each count. If bond is posted, Akorli, must
wear an electronic monitoring device and surrender his passport.

Akorli was arraigned July 20, and is being held at the Hamilton County
Justice Center while he awaits a report from the grand jury, due July
29.

Meloy said the money was mainly $10 and $20 bills.

Police will likely ask for a forfeiture hearing on the money, which
would be divided among the agencies involved, including the Hamilton
County Prosecutors Office. Meloy said that could take more than a
year.

MONROE, Ohio
A shooting investigation was underway Saturday at an outlet mall in Monroe


Monroe police were sent to the shooting at the Cincinnati Premium Outlets about 9 p.m.

Lt. Brian Curlis with the Monroe Police Department said officers responded to the outlet regarding several suspects stealing, and when officers approached, Jamarcus Brown, 22, of Dayton, fled on foot.

Curlis said Brown entered a vehicle, and when Officer Chad Caudill was in front of it, Brown accelerated and Caudill ended up on the hood of the vehicle.


Authorities said Caudill then fired shots through the windshield of the car, striking Brown.

Brown was treated and released from Atrium Hospital and taken to the Warren County Jail. He was charged with assault on a law enforcement officer, obstructing official business and failure to comply with the lawful order of a police officer.

Brown is also being held on an outstanding felony warrant out of Montgomery County.

Brown will be arraigned Monday.

A Pleasant Ridge grocery store clerk shot and killed a man who came in wearing a motorcycle helmet late Sunday, Cincinnati police said today.

The second shift clerk at LM&N Unlimited Supermarket, 5640 Montgomery Road, called 911 at 8:46 p.m. He said he shot a man inside the business and thought he was getting robbed, said Cincinnati police Lt. Michael Savard, the night chief.

Omar Magdy Abouelalla, 22, collapsed inside the store and was pronounced dead at the scene.

He rode his motorcycle to the store, got off the bike and went inside still wearing the helmet with the visor raised, Savard said. Abouelalla was not armed with a weapon, he said.

The clerk and Abouelalla were the only ones in the business at the time of the shooting.

Police are reviewing store surveillance video this morning. They also are still interviewing the store clerk, 32, whose name was not released. The clerk is cooperating with homicide detectives, who are conducting a death investigation.

“We are not sure of the facts yet,” Savard said.

The store is closed, and a note on the door indicates it will reopen later this week.

“We Will Be Back,” the note reads. “Open on Thersday (sic). We sorry.”

A black tarp is covering the front door.

Abouelalla has no criminal record in Hamilton County, a review of court records shows. His only offense is a 2010 speeding ticket on northbound Interstate 71 in Cincinnati. At that point, his listed address was Dearborn, MI.
