2 men arrested in Cincinnati nightclub shooting are facing federal charges

Franeek Cobb and Derrick Long face federal felonious assault and illegal firearm possession charges after a nightclub shooting injured nine people, with two victims still hospitalized, officials said.

  • Federal prosecutors charged two men Tuesday with illegally possessing firearms as convicted felons after nine people were shot at Riverfront Live nightclub, Cincinnati on March 1, 2026.
  • Court documents allege Cobb saw the victim across the venue and immediately opened fire, after a fight broke out before shots were fired, prosecutors said.
  • Surveillance footage reviewed by investigators revealed that only two shooters fired during the incident, and officers seized a gun Cobb allegedly dropped, with NIBIN analysis tying shell casings to two firearms.
  • Hamilton County Municipal Judge Bernard Mundy ordered that Franeek Cobb face a $50,000 bond, with victim support sessions offered at district offices, and each defendant faces up to 15 years.
  • The mayor of Cincinnati says officials expect more charges and is contacting the prosecutor to expedite indictments, while ATF Special Agent in Charge Jorge Rosendo and U.S. Attorney Gerace praised multiagency coordination.
