Man is accused of fatally shooting a 25-year-old while cutting his hair

CINCINNATI – One man is dead and another man is in custody following a shooting in East Price Hill Thursday night, according to Cincinnati police.

According to CPD, officers were called to the 2800 block of West Eighth Street for reports of a person shot at approximately 7:23 p.m. Thursday evening. When they got there, they found 25-year-old Joshua Sherman suffering from a gunshot wound, CPD said.

Sherman was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.

On Friday morning, CPD said officers arrested 37-year-old Djuane Ferguson and charged him with murder in connection with Sherman’s death.

Court documents say Ferguson shot Sherman in the head “while Sherman was getting his hair cut.”

In court Friday morning, prosecutors said Sherman was sitting in a barber chair getting his hair cut when Ferguson walked in and shot Sherman in the back of the head in front of several witnesses.

The judge set Ferguson’s bail at $2.5 million, noting that Ferguson had been incarcerated for 20 years and was only released on Sept. 11, a month before he allegedly shot Sherman.
