Cincinnati Shooting After Hospital Kidnapping | Cincinnati News

A deadly chase through Cincinnati and Green Township ended in a fatal police shooting after a 23-year-old man, Timothy Cromwell, kidnapped a hospital worker and fled with her car. After a 45-minute pursuit, officers used a SWAT truck’s armor to stop his vehicle. Armed with a knife, Cromwell confronted officers — body cam footage shows multiple shots fired as he got up and was shot again before collapsing. Authorities say officers continued firing until the threat was neutralized. Cromwell had a history of mental health issues, prior arrests for abduction and menacing, and reportedly told the victim he intended a “suicide by cop.” Both the Cincinnati Citizen Complaint Authority and internal affairs are investigating; two officers are on administrative leave.
