Cincinnati police have made an arrest in a case that has hung over the Over-the-Rhine community since late last year: 27-year-old Tajae Terrell is facing charges in a triple shooting that sent shockwaves through the neighborhood, Local12 first reported. The incident, which occurred in the early hours of November 23, 2025, on Elm Street, initially was met with fear that there were life-threatening injuries among the victims.
According to reports, Terrell has been charged with discharging a firearm near prohibited premises, stemming from the events on Elm Street near the Privee nightclub; emergency responders arrived following the gunfire to find no victims at the scene, only to learn that the injured parties had already been transported to a hospital, while police discovered three shell casings, a fact revealed in a report by FOX19.
The police department did not immediately provide specifics on what led to Terrell's arrest, but they did confirm that the charges follow an indictment, and in a statement obtained by WLWT, they noted the indictment as the basis for the arrest; fortunately, despite initial concerns, it was later clarified that all three victims sustained non-life-threatening injuries, which was a relief to the community.
While Terrell is currently in custody for the shooting investigation, details surrounding the circumstances that led to the violent night are still emerging and the Cincinnati Police Department's District One Investigative Unit is seeking additional information, and they encourage anyone with insights into the case to reach out at 513-352-3505, indicating that the narrative of that November night is yet complete, though an arrest suggests the law is drawing its slow tendrils closer to resolution.
