CINCINNATI — A judge ordered a $2 million bond for an 18-year-old man accused of shooting and killing a woman in Evanston in early June.
Ajani Grimes was arrested Friday for the shooting death of 47-year-old Laura Schueler, Cincinnati police said.
Police said officers were dispatched to the 1500 block of Jonathan Avenue at around 6:50 a.m. June 7 for a reported shooting. When officers arrived, they located Schueler with a gunshot wound.
Schueler was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.
According to court documents, Grimes was arrested based on witness statements, video surveillance footage and physical evidence from both the scene of the shooting and where Grimes was arrested.
Other court documents show that Grimes had cut off his ankle monitor in April while he was being electronically monitored due to previous alleged crimes, including aggravated robbery and felonious assault. In October 2024, Grimes pistol-whipped and fired a gun at a person while stealing their vehicle, phone and wallet, according to court documents.
Grimes is currently being held at the Hamilton County Jail. He is expected back in court on Tuesday, July 22, to report to the grand jury.
Police said the investigation into the shooting is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call the Homicide Unit at 513-352-3542.
