Two suspects arrested in connection with the viral July 26 downtown Cincinnati beatdown have been released on bond, while police hunt for an eighth alleged perpetrator in the assault.

The Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office confirmed to Fox News Digital that DeKyra Vernon, 24, and Aisha Devaughn, 25, were released from the Hamilton County Jail on Friday. 

In a Thursday arraignment, Vernon’s bond was reduced from $250,000 to $25,000 at 10%. On the same day, Devaughn’s bond was reduced from $300,000 to $25,000 at 10%.

During an Aug. 1 news conference, Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval said everyone involved in the attack would be charged. 

“I agree with Pastor Lynch, that there is no doubt that this public safety challenge, that this incident will require further investigation, further charges and further arrests for every single person involved,” he said.

Reverend Damon Lynch, a community leader, had previously complained during the news conference that the victims, who are White, have not been charged. 

“But when I see the mugshots, I only see people who look like me,” said Lynch, who is Black. “I don’t see the person who re-engaged. And so until we see all the mugshots, this is still a racial issue.”
