CINCINNATI — Police did not find the "wanted person" they were searching for in downtown Cincinnati Wednesday evening, officials said.

Police said Jvonnie Chandler — who's wanted for murder, weapons under disability and drug trafficking — was involved in a crash at the intersection of 5th Street and Central Ave. Lt. Jonathan Cunningham said Chandler fled the scene on foot and was believed to have entered a parking garage near 6th and Plum streets.

Officers shut down a two-block area near Plum and W 7th Street as SWAT arrived on scene to search the garages. Chandler was not found, Cunningham said.

Chandler, 26, is described as 6-foot and 230 pounds. WCPO is sharing his mugshot because police said Chandler should be considered armed and dangerous.

Police said Chandler frequents downtown Cincinnati, Forest Park and Kentucky.

If anyone has information about Chandler's whereabouts, they are asked to call CrimeStoppers or 911.

WCPO will update this story with more information when it is available.
