On the night of January 29, 2025, 28-year-old African American male Devin Jordan Price Sr. was fatally shot inside an apartment on Green Street in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood. Emergency responders arrived at the scene around 11:00 PM and found Devin Price suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. Despite attempts to administer life-saving measures, he was pronounced dead at the scene.
The suspect, 31-year-old African American female Demetria Long, called police to report the
shooting and surrendered to officers upon their arrival. According to prosecutors, the incident followed a confrontation involving Long’s fiancé and Devin Price. Long allegedly left the apartment during the altercation, returned with a firearm, and claimed to have fired a warning shot. However, investigators found that Devin Price had sustained two gunshot wounds, and only two shots were fired.
Demetria Long was arrested and charged with murder, felonious assault, and discharge of a firearm on or near prohibited premises. She was indicted on these charges and is currently being held on a $1 million bond.
