Roberto Pittman, 34, a Black man from Cincinnati, was shot and killed just after midnight on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, on McGregor Avenue near Reading Road, along the Walnut Hills/Mount Auburn line. Officers were called to the scene around midnight, found him down in the street with gunshot wounds, and tried to save his life, but he died there. A second victim from the same burst of gunfire later arrived at the hospital with a non-life-threatening wound to the back.
The coroner identified the slain man as Roberto Pittman; local reports placed the shooting in the 400 block of McGregor and described a chaotic overnight stretch of violence that touched multiple Cincinnati neighborhoods.
Through the following days, police had not released a suspect description or motive, and no arrests were announced in the killing of Roberto Pittman, 34. Memorial and obituary notices confirmed his name, age, and Cincinnati roots, while community tributes marked the date of his death as July 1, 2025.
In the weeks that followed, Cincinnati police made a high-profile arrest in a different Walnut Hills homicide from mid-June on Lincoln Avenue, underscoring that investigators were working multiple fatal shootings at once. That case involved a separate victim and date and does not match the July 1 McGregor Avenue scene where Roberto Pittman, 34, was killed. As of the latest reporting, authorities have not publicly identified a suspect or announced an arrest in his case, and they continue to ask for tips from the public.
