Email to the mayor and city council concerning a spate of 6 or 7 shooting in Price Hill over News Year’s 2025 weekend.

 

 

As I mentioned in my email to city hall, there were so many shootings over the New Year’s weekend, it was difficult to come up with an exact count.  The reports from the various news outlets were reporting on the incidents but the shootings were all in close proximity to each other in the East and West Price Hill neighborhoods. So, it was difficult to distinguish the incidents from one another based on the descriptions provided by the media.

I  had a phone call with Amber Kassem, the President of the East Price Hill Improvement Association, trying to figure it out but we were still not 100% sure of the number of shootings.

I received only one response from city hall to my email. Councilmember Ana Albi responded with what I thought was pretty much a “canned response,” mostly about gun control. She said nothing about what I included in my letter.

Obviously, city hall did not get the message on News Years. Six months later, in the summer of 2025, Cincinnati is beset by shootings and murders and the city administration is looking completely ill-prepared and ineffective in fulfilling its public safety responsibilities.
