On the evening of June 11, 2025, 41-year-old Christopher Stallworth was shot inside the Shake Shack at 249 Calhoun Street near the University of Cincinnati. Officers from Cincinnati Police and UC Police responded around 8:20 p.m. and found Stallworth suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest; he was taken to UC Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Witness accounts and security video described a confrontation that began as a parking dispute and escalated inside the crowded restaurant. Court filings and investigators say Stallworth had both hands in his pockets and was retreating when a gun was produced; prosecutors say the shooter later admitted he did not believe Stallworth had a weapon and no weapon was observed on Stallworth in the video.

Police identified and arrested 54-year-old Antwoine McCants of North Avondale. He was charged with murder; a judge set bond at $1 million. A Hamilton County grand jury later indicted McCants on two counts of murder and two counts of felonious assault, and his attorney has asserted a self-defense claim. Police asked anyone with additional information to contact the homicide unit.

Did anyone in the Clifton Heights or campus area see the confrontation or have video from nearby that night?
