Authorities in Cincinnati confirmed that two individuals Axel Cisnerosmentos and Aron Anaya, are facing charges connected to a street takeover that occurred during IShowSpeed’s livestream appearance in the city. The event drew large crowds after viewers tracked his location in real time through the broadcast.

Videos circulating online showed groups of people gathering around cars, climbing onto vehicles, setting off fireworks and blocking intersections while Speed attempted to move through the area. The situation escalated quickly enough that the livestream was interrupted and eventually cut short.

What happened during the stream

The incident took place while Speed was livestreaming in downtown Cincinnati as part of his ongoing IRL content.

As crowds formed around the creator, the environment became increasingly difficult to control. Videos from the scene showed people running into the streets, surrounding vehicles and performing dangerous driving maneuvers commonly associated with street takeovers. Fireworks were also launched near parts of the crowd during the stream.

At several points, Speed appeared visibly overwhelmed as security and police attempted to move him away from the area.

Charges filed after investigation

According to local authorities, investigators later identified two suspects tied to the disruption. The reported charges include offenses connected to riot-related activity and participation in the street takeover event.

Police stated that the investigation remains ongoing and additional arrests or charges may still follow as more footage from the incident is reviewed.

Officials also noted that large livestream meetups can become difficult to manage because viewers are able to track creators’ movements in real time through public broadcasts and social media updates.

While livestream meetups have become increasingly common among major creators, events involving large gatherings, vehicle stunts and public disruptions have also led to increased police involvement and safety concerns in several cities.
