Christian Jones was 28 and from Cincinnati when he was found shot to death on April 6, 2022, following a vehicle crash on Bassett Road in East Price Hill. The Cincinnati Police Department’s Homicide Unit took over the investigation. Investigators say Jones had been giving a ride to two passengers, 20-year-old Ali Coulter and 18-year-old Youssouf Niangane, in what was described as an unlicensed ride service, and that Coulter and Niangane robbed and killed him during the ride.

Shortly after the killing, police issued a murder warrant for Coulter. Niangane was arrested on April 8, 2022, on an open murder warrant and held on $1 million bond. Separately, officers in Covington, Kentucky, shot and killed Coulter during an attempt to gather information about the murder. Jones’s family has disputed the police account and requested access to body camera footage from the officers involved. The Cincinnati Police Department continues to seek information from the public.

Did anyone witness the pickup or the route Jones was driving that night, or have information about the unlicensed ride service?
