Cincinnati Police District 3 is investigating a felonious assault that happened near Glenway Market at 4420 Glenway Avenue, and investigators are now asking the public to help them identify a man captured in a photograph tied to the case. Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Turner.
The appeal came Tuesday from the Cincinnati Police Department
, which posted a photo of the unidentified individual and asked residents to come forward if they recognize him. Glenway Market sits on Glenway Avenue, a primary commercial corridor running through West Price Hill on Cincinnati's West Side, according to
Zumper
, home to a mix of grocery and convenience retail that keeps the strip busy throughout the day.
Felonious assault is no minor charge. Under Ohio Revised Code § 2903.11, it is classified as a second-degree felony whenever a person knowingly causes serious physical harm or uses a deadly weapon, carrying a potential sentence of two to eight years in state prison and fines up to $15,000, under Ohio law. That stands in sharp contrast to basic assault under ORC § 2903.13, which is only a first-degree misdemeanor punishable by up to 180 days in jail under Ohio law. Police have not publicly detailed the victim's exact injuries or said whether a weapon was used in this case.
District 3's Wide West Side Beat
The investigation falls under Cincinnati Police District 3, which serves 14 communities across the city's West Side and encompasses 18 neighborhoods — including West Price Hill, East Price Hill, and Westwood — with a force of roughly 161 sworn officers, according to the City of Cincinnati. District 3 operates out of a $16 million headquarters at 2300 Ferguson Road in Westwood that opened in 2015 as the nation's first Net-Zero Energy and LEED Platinum-certified police station, replacing a historic 1908 station house on Warsaw Avenue, per background compiled by CMTA, Inc.
The Glenway Market case adds to a run of violent assault investigations District 3 detectives have pursued on West Side commercial corridors throughout 2026, including an August beating at a Harrison Avenue gas station and an August assault on McHenry Avenue. Hoodline has also covered a Westwood felonious assault manhunt from last month, in which police sought a 67-year-old man accused of beating a woman with a can and breaking her nose.

Part of a Broader Pattern on the West Side
The Glenway Market search comes amid a string of recent West Side violent crime investigations that Hoodline has tracked in Price Hill and the surrounding District 3 coverage area, including a shooting that wounded a man on Warsaw Avenue in East Price Hill on Sunday night, an East Price Hill robbery case tied to a McDonald's and an OTR store, and an August 8 assault investigation at a West Side Shell station.
Price Hill — encompassing East Price Hill, West Price Hill, and Lower Price Hill — is one of Cincinnati's largest residential sections, an area where historical family poverty rates in East Price Hill reached 44%, according to background compiled by the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
