CINCINNATI—The Cincinnati City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to suspend the off-campus patrols of University of Cincinnati police officers after the fatal shooting of a motorist by an officer.

The school’s campus police had voluntarily halted such patrols after the July 19 shooting of 43-year-old Samuel DuBose. DuBose was pulled over about a half-mile from campus by UC officer Ray Tensing for a missing front license plate. DuBose, who was not a student, refused to get out of the car, and Tensing shot the driver once in the head.
