A late-night argument in Cincinnati’s Walnut Hills turned fatal on February 1, 2026. Responding to reports of shots fired around 10:00 p.m., officers found 33-year-old Diamond Rice dead at the scene from a gunshot wound. The dispute began indoors on May Street and reportedly moved outside, where the shooting occurred.

Police arrested 31-year-old Jasmine Blake and charged her with murder in connection with the shooting. Reports indicate Blake and Rice were in a relationship and that the argument may have started after Rice said she planned to leave and move back to Baltimore. The investigation into the precise circumstances of the deadly dispute is ongoing.
