Baker's Killer Was Free On Bond

"CINCINNATI, OH — Cincinnati police said they responded to an apartment in the 4100 block of Dane Avenue just after 10 p.m. Monday to check the welfare of a resident.

"When officers got inside, they found Tanika Carter, 34, and Christian Mitchell, 36, had been shot to death.

"Carter is the owner of Taste of Nikki Pastry Shop on Race Street across from Findlay Market.

"`She'd try to work around and help the kids, teach the kids how to run a register and count money, stuff you got to know,` said Carter's friend, Mike Moody.

"Patrons said they didn't know Mitchell, but he was arrested last month on aggravated menacing charges and, according to court records, threatened Carter with a gun.

"At the time of the shooting, Mitchell was free on $45,000 bond, but a judge had ordered him to stay away from Carter."
