A 15-year-old boy was rushed to the hospital Tuesday afternoon after gunfire broke out in the parking lot of a convenience store near Chesterdale Road, rattling the normally routine after-school hour. Police say his injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening.
The shooting happened shortly after 3 p.m., and officers quickly moved in, detaining several people at the scene for questioning. Part of the parking lot was taped off as investigators walked the pavement, photographing shell casings and talking with stunned witnesses.
The Sharonville Police Department told WLWT the shooting occurred around 3:04 p.m. in the parking lot of the King Quick Food Mart on Chesterdale Road. According to WLWT, a white Ford Fusion was seen leaving the area, and the people inside that vehicle were later detained for questioning. Springdale police also responded to assist at the scene, the outlet reported.
What police say
In a statement to WLWT, the Sharonville Police Department said the 15-year-old "was transported to the hospital for treatment and is believed to have non-life-threatening injuries." No names have been released, and no charges have been announced as investigators work to piece together what led to the gunfire.
Where this happened
The King Quick Food Mart is listed at 11636 Chesterdale Road in local business directories, putting the shooting near the border between Springdale and Sharonville. The stretch has seen serious violence before. Hoodline previously covered a fatal Springdale hotel shooting in 2024 that triggered an interagency search.
Investigation ongoing
Sharonville and Springdale police say the investigation is very much active. Officers are reviewing surveillance video and combing through witness accounts to figure out exactly what happened in that parking lot and why. Officials are asking anyone with information to contact local law enforcement, and media outlets have noted that this is an early-stage investigation, meaning details could shift as more information comes out.
