Grinning female shooter opens fire at house party after finding out her ex-husband, new beau were talking

A female shooter has been convicted of attempted murder after she opened fire at a New Year’s Eve house party when she spotted her estranged husband and her boyfriend talking to each other.  

Olivia Clendenin, seen smirking in her mug shot, fired eight shots after she was unable to convince her ex-spouse to leave the shindig in Clearcreek Township, Ohio, according to Warren County prosecutors. 

Clendenin’s ex-hubby and new boyfriend mingled at the party, which was held to welcome in 2025, and both talked about their relationships with the alleged shooter.

Clendenin, 29, received word that both men had attended the bash, but her husband refused to leave the party.

She pulled out her .40 caliber handgun and unleashed a volley of shots, which struck the innocent guest in the abdomen, according to police.

“The victim had simply been invited to a New Year’s Eve party and found himself in the middle of Clendenin’s barrage of gunfire,” David Fornshell, the Warren County prosecutor, said Tuesday.

“Clendenin may have started 2025 as a free person but will spend the rest of 2026 and at a minimum the decade thereafter incarcerated for attempting to murder at least one of her romantic interests albeit striking and almost killing an innocent victim.”

Clendenin’s ex told cops last year she was mad at the fact that he and her new partner were socializing. 

Clendenin also crashed her mom’s SUV when she tried to leave the party after her rampage, cops told WKRC.

She was also convicted of illegally discharging a firearm at or into a home and two assault charges, and is yet to be sentenced.
