CINCINNATI –

Because the University of Cincinnati and the Cincinnati Police Department continue investigate four different robberies where victims say they were robbed at gunpoint, two victims share their stories with WLWT in hopes of finding those responsible.

On the night of July 5, a UC junior who refused to identify WLWT said she was walking to her boyfriend’s house on Warner Road in Clifton when she said she heard footsteps, turned, saw two people, and saw a weapon aimed at hers.

“They were about a foot or two away from me,” said the student. “But it was aimed at my head.”

The student said she handed over her car keys and wallet and ran away. She said the couple left in a blue SUV.

“I ran up Warner yelling for help,” said the student tearfully about the ‘saddest’ part of the ordeal. “So many people walked past me, closed their windows and didn’t stop to help me.”

The student said her home security camera showed an SUV arriving at her home a few minutes later after the robbery. She told WLWT that someone got out and secured her black Hyundai Elentra from the driveway. She said both the SUV and her car sped down her street.

“It’s scary for everyone here. This area is now a hotspot,” said the student of her off-campus neighborhood.

The student said she moved home to drive to work.

On the night of July 11th, Ana Maria Echeverria-Jimenez said she was airing her tires at a station on campus on Jefferson Avenue when she heard a noise.

“I turned around and they had a gun on my neck,” said Echeverria-Jimenez.

The UC senior said that a group of people forced them to give up their keys and valuables and run away. She said when she started running she was ordered to come back and give the group her cell phone. Echeverria-Jimenez said she fled to nearby Kroger again to call 911 and her family.

“It doesn’t feel real to say it,” said Echeverria-Jimenez. “I couldn’t even believe what was happening.”

Echeverria-Jimenez said she saw the all-male group drive away in an SUV and their light blue Ford Mustang.

On Tuesday, UC students received an email from the university informing them of four robberies that resulted in victims being held at gunpoint.

“I was pissed off because they waited over a week to say something about me,” said the UC junior. “And after that there were three other people, so it was. It felt like it was really late. ”
