On the evening of December 23, 2025, 31-year-old Tekeya McCollum was found in a stairwell at the Park Eden senior living facility, 2610 Park Avenue in Walnut Hills, Cincinnati, after reports of gunfire. First responders discovered McCollum with a critical gunshot wound; she later died of her injuries. Neighbors reported hearing an altercation on the fourth floor, then a gunshot and a scream. This was the second violent event at Park Eden that week, increasing tenant concern about safety at the property.

McCollum was a mother of five. Her brother, DeRonn McCollum, said she did not live at Park Eden and the family does not know why she was there that night. No suspect has been identified or arrested, and police have not released a motive; the investigation is active. The family is also still reeling from an earlier loss when Tekeya’s grandmother Patricia and two adopted children were killed in October 2024.

If anyone saw or heard anything at Park Eden on the evening of December 23, please share information that might help investigators.
