Another Violent Weekend In North College Hill
The latest call comes as the Hamilton County region is still reeling from a deadly shooting earlier this month. FOX19 reported that an 18-year-old woman was killed and another person was hospitalized after a June 22 shooting on Carpenter Drive in North College Hill.
That incident remains an open homicide investigation involving the Hamilton County Coroner’s Office and the sheriff’s office, according to FOX19.
Ongoing Pattern Along Hamilton Avenue
Hamilton Avenue and nearby streets have seen multiple gun incidents this year, adding to mounting concerns about public safety in the neighborhood.
