Thomas J. Alexander, 34, was fatally shot in the early hours of March 21, 2025, in Cincinnati’s Walnut Hills neighborhood. Officers responded to a 3 a.m. report of a shooting at the Park Eden apartment building and found Alexander with gunshot wounds in a stairwell; he was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Investigators have not released details about what led to the shooting or whether Alexander had any connection to the complex. The initial 911 call came from inside the building; police are reviewing surveillance footage and other evidence but have made no arrests and have not identified a motive or persons of interest.

Park Eden, once a senior living facility and now mixed-income housing, has tenants and neighbors worried about safety after the incident. If anyone saw activity around the stairwell or has surveillance footage from March 21, please contact Cincinnati police with any information.
