London Donjoir Harris, 23, was shot and killed outside Babe’s Café in Cincinnati’s Westwood neighborhood on April 9, 2022, around 1:30 a.m. The shooting followed a fight that started inside the bar and spilled outside; Harris was with a friend who survived with non-life-threatening injuries. Reports say the confrontation began after someone accidentally bumped another person in line.

Babe’s Café has been linked to multiple prior shootings and a high volume of police calls. Cincinnati City Council formally objected to the bar’s liquor license over concerns including drug trafficking; management said it was trying to address problems, and the Ohio Liquor Control Commission had the final decision pending. No arrests have been announced and the police are still searching for the shooter.

Family and friends held a vigil and have urged closure of the bar, saying its violent history harmed the community. If anyone was in or near Babe’s Café that night or has information about the fight or the shooting, please come forward.
