Quinton Nathanial Shouse, 27, male, was shot in broad daylight on October 6, 2025, in Cincinnati’s Avondale neighborhood. Police were called just after 12:20 p.m. to the area of Ridgeway Avenue, where officers found him in or near a parking lot by a sign business with at least one gunshot wound. First responders began life-saving measures at the scene before he was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he died.
Detectives cordoned off the block and searched for evidence as the afternoon wore on, but by evening they had released no description of a suspect, no details about a vehicle, and no information on an arrest. Cincinnati police said the investigation remained active and asked anyone with information to come forward. The homicide unit later reiterated the tip line for leads.
Shouse’s identity and the date of his death were confirmed by local news outlets and memorial notices, which marked a brief life rooted in the Cincinnati area and cut short by gunfire. Community pages that catalog shooting victims in the city added his name to their rolls in the days that followed.
As of the latest reports, police have not announced any arrests, and they have not publicly identified a suspect or suspects in the killing. Investigators continue to seek tips from the public to help reconstruct the moments leading up to the shooting and to identify whoever is responsible.
