Joshua Sherman, 25, was shot and killed while sitting in a barber’s chair in the 2800 block of West Eighth Street in East Price Hill, Cincinnati. The shooting occurred about 7:23 p.m. on October 10, 2024; Sherman was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center and pronounced dead.

Police arrested 37-year-old Djuane Ferguson in the early hours of October 11, 2024, charging him with murder. Court documents allege Ferguson entered the barbershop, walked up behind Sherman and shot him in the head in front of multiple witnesses. The judge set bond at $2.5 million, and court filings note Ferguson had been released from prison on September 11, 2024, after serving a 20-year sentence and has prior convictions including armed robbery dating to 2003.

The community has reacted with shock as Sherman’s family and friends grieve. Does anyone have information about Sherman’s activities that evening or about the barbershop and its patrons that could help the investigation?
