The University of Cincinnati Police Department has resumed patrols in neighborhoods surrounding the school's campus, one month after a department officer shot and killed an unarmed black motorist, NBC News reported.
On June 19, then-Officer Ray Tensing fatally shot Samuel DuBose, 43, during an off-campus traffic stop. Tensing has since been charged with murder and voluntary manslaughter and fired from his position.
After the shooting, University President Santa Ono voluntarily suspended off-campus patrols while promising an in-depth examination of department.
The decision to resume patrols coincides with the start of the fall semester — timing both the University of Cincinnati and the Cincinnati Police Department said is not coincidental.
