Summary

More than 20 shots were fired in a running fight between four Cincinnati police officers and a theft suspect, Police Chief Tom Streicher said Monday. Streicher said an officer responded to a report of stolen ice cream at a UDF store in the 1800 block of Queen City Avenue just before 4:30 p.m. Sunday. Store employees said Qayyim Moore, 25, entered the store acting "kind of squirrelly," Streicher said. The officer arrived and Moore, who had no known address, came back to the store and asked for a spoon , Streicher said. The officer stopped Moore outside the store and attempted to search him, finding ice cream in a bag and a receipt, he said. But Moore then took off running down Queen City Avenue, with the officer in pursuit, Streicher said. When the officer fired a Taser gun at Moore and missed, Moore turned and fired a shot at the officer, Streicher said. In a running gunfight down Queen City Avenue, four officers fired 19 shots at Moore, who fired three times. Streicher said Moore's gun, a .22 caliber semi-automatic, jammed after every shot, forcing him to try to clear the gun on the run. Moore eventually fell down in the 1700 block of Queen City Avenue, where he died from four, or possibly five, gunshot wounds, Streicher said. Traces of marijuana were also found at the scene, he said. A total of 19 shots were fired, including three by Moore, and two officers of the five officers involved in the chase shot Moore multiple times, Streicher said.
