Seventh Suspect Arrested in Cincinnati Violent Mob Attack

A seventh suspect, Gregory Wright, 32, has been arrested in connection with a violent mob attack in downtown Cincinnati on July 26 that left six people injured. Wright faces charges of aggravated riot and aggravated robbery for allegedly ripping a necklace off a victim during the attack and filming the ongoing assault. The six other suspects, indicted last week, face multiple charges including felonious assault, assault, and aggravated rioting, with potential prison sentences of up to 30 years. The violence, which Cincinnati Police Chief Teresa Theetge described as a "violent attack," has drawn significant public attention and raised concerns about crime in the city. Ohio's aiding and abetting law allows all defendants involved to be charged equally regardless of individual actions during the incident. Community leaders and officials have expressed frustration over perceived investigative biases and the broader impact of the attack on the city’s reputation.
