Two Shootings Near University of Cincinnati Campus Leave Two Wounded as Police Investigate

Ongoing scene work and requests for public tips mean officials have not yet tied the incidents together or announced arrests.

Overview

  • Police responded to a shooting near Moerlein Avenue and Lyon Street that occurred around 3 a.m. Sunday and found a person with a gunshot wound to the arm who was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.
  • About 24 hours later, officers investigated reported gunfire near Jefferson Street and Calhoun Avenue and a wounded person self-transported to Good Samaritan Hospital and is expected to survive.
  • WLWT and WCPO crews observed officers detaining at least one person on scene but Cincinnati police have not confirmed any arrests or released suspect information.
  • The university issued multiple safety alerts for the Monday incident and later sent an all-clear while campus public safety — recently accredited for several policing standards — continues to coordinate with CPD.
  • Investigators are collecting evidence at both locations, and officials are asking the public for tips and any video as the unresolved probes could affect campus safety measures during the start of the fall term.
