The Cincinnati Police Department refuted claims of suspects being found in the Philant Johnson homicide case.

There have been no arrests in this case and there are no warrants pending,” said Cincinnati Police Public Information Commander Lt. Mark Briede, according to AllHipHop. “We’ve heard that Atlanta radio is reporting it and we’ve gotten several calls about this. But we know nothing about it.

Media Liason Fran Cihon further explained that details would be unavailable because the case was under active investigation. “Our investigators don’t discuss their investigations unless there is a major development or an arrest. Once a homicide takes place, we do a media release announcing the crime
and it’s investigation. But we don’t do updates on a case, with the
exception of situations where information is uncovered that the public
could use to help us resolve the case. In those situations, we release
that information to the press in hopes of driving up Crimestoppers tips.

Reports from an Atlanta radio station earlier this week stated that Cincinnati police apprehended two suspects, and were close to arresting a third, in the murder of Philant Johnson, a Grand Hustle Records employee.

Johnson was shot on I-75 in Cincinnati following an argument between rapper T.I.’s entourage (of which Johnson was a member) and several unknown individuals at Club Ritz.
