Miquan Barfield, age 22, was taken into custody by the police on Thursday in connection with an active murder warrant for Booker’s killing. On Thursday, Barfield was taken into custody after allegedly being involved in a police pursuit that ended in his apprehension. It was around ten in the morning when police began to pursue a vehicle along Paddock Road who was operating a red Honda Pilot. After continuing into the Norwood Lateral, the pursuit came to an end near the intersection of Paddock Road and Franklin Avenue. WLWT was provided with information by a witness who stated that she was exiting a hair salon when she heard the bullets. “I’m scared because who would have ever thought that something like this would happen so close to where I get my hair done. I’m terrified.” A witness named Tracey Drake stated, “I mean, I was literally upstairs.”
Community leaders who are present have begun to speak out against the recent violence. “Put down the guns. ” Discuss the challenges you’re facing. You have a problem with someone; you should speak it out so that you may both continue living and return to your families. Quentin Taylor, one of the co-founders of Neighborhood Heroes 513, emphasized the significance of returning home to be with one’s loved ones and one’s family.
The family of Nia Booker issued a statement on Monday, which went as follows: “Our family was grieved to learn of the untimely loss of our daughter, niece, and cousin Nia Booker due to a senseless act of violence. Nia was a caring mother of five children, and she had devoted her life to doing everything in her power to ensure that her children led lives that were full of joy and fulfillment. Any and all acts of violence are abhorrent to our family, and we pray that justice will be served expeditiously.
We also pray that this will serve as a wake-up call to the community about the widespread damage that may be had on the lives of innocent people when there are so many people who have access to guns. In the middle of their loss, may her children find solace and support from those around them, and may her memory serve as a wellspring of fortitude and motivation for those who were fortunate enough to have known her. The investigation, according to the Cincinnati police, is ongoing, and anyone who has any information is requested to contact them at 513-352-3542.
