A man charged with killing a West End store clerk on Christmas night was walking around town 10 days later with the murder weapon tucked in his waistband, Cincinnati police say.
Homicide detectives charged Altone A. Shaheed, 19, with aggravated murder and aggravated robbery on Saturday. Mr. Shaheed, of the 1900 block of Westwood-Northern Boulevard, had been arrested Jan. 4 for carrying a concealed handgun.
“Between the physical evidence of the gun and witnesses, we developed enough evidence to charge him with the robbery and the murder,” said Cincinnati Homicide Lt. Mike Jones.
Mabel Malcolm-Washington, 35, was shot and killed about 9 p.m. on Dec. 25 while stocking shelves at Cornell's Grocery Store, 516 W. Liberty St. Police described the gunman as an African-American male, possibly a youth, 5 feet 5 to 5 feet 7 inches tall, who weighed about 130 pounds. He was wearing a black ski mask and black clothing.
The District 4 officer who arrested Mr. Shaheed — who is an African-American, 5 feet 7 and weighs 129 pounds — for carrying a concealed weapon, also found a black ski mask in Mr. Shaheed's coat pocket, arrest reports say.
The man was wearing two pairs of jeans and three different color sweat shirts — black, blue and red — at the time of the Jan. 4 arrest. About 2 a.m. that day, the patrol officer stopped Mr. Shaheed for jaywalking at 3000 Reading Road, patted him down and found the gun.
Cooperation from witnesses and good detective work by the arresting officer and homicide detectives led to the murder and robbery charges against Mr. Shaheed, Lt. Jones said.
