A shooting inside an apartment on Vine Street in Cincinnati's Clifton neighborhood sent one person to the hospital and led to two people being detained. Police said the victim's injuries were non-life-threatening, and investigators recovered a gun at the scene as they continued piecing together what led to the gunfire.
According to wcpo.com, officers responded to a shooting at 3595 Vine St., where one female was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The outlet reported that two other people were detained following the shooting and that a gun was recovered. WCPO said the District Four Investigative Unit is handling the investigation. WKRC similarly reported that officers responded to a reported shooting at 3595 Vine St. in Clifton, that a woman was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries, and that two people were detained in connection with the case.
Other outlets offered differing details about the scene and the person who was shot. WLWT reported that the shooting happened inside an apartment, according to investigators, and said officers were called to the 3500 block of Vine Street around 9:45 p.m. Meanwhile, FOX19 reported that police responded to reports of a juvenile shot at about 9:30 p.m. in the 3500 block of Vine Street and said officers found a girl with a non-life-threatening gunshot wound. The two accounts differ both on the exact timing of the police response and on whether the injured person was a woman or a juvenile girl.
Two Taken Into Custody as Investigation Continues
FOX19 reported that police quickly located two suspects and took them into custody. WLWT noted that the Cincinnati Police Department's investigation into what led to the shooting was ongoing, and FOX19 likewise reported that the circumstances surrounding the shooting remain under investigation.
No motive or further detail about what led to the gunfire inside the apartment has been released. The exact location — whether at 3595 Vine St. or elsewhere in the 3500 block — has also been described differently across reports.
Pattern of Shootings in the Clifton Area
This is not the only shooting to hit the Clifton area in recent months. Earlier reporting from wcpo.com detailed an early Tuesday morning shooting in Clifton that left 19-year-old Harry Nelson dead and a second victim with non-life-threatening injuries at Good Samaritan Hospital. Three men were later arrested and charged with murder and aggravated robbery in that case, per the same outlet's reporting.
In a separate incident near the University of Cincinnati, cincinnati.com reported that 25-year-old Willie Russ was arrested Oct. 8 and charged with felonious assault and burglary in connection with a Sept. 11 shooting on Short Vine Street. The victim in that shooting was taken to University of Cincinnati Medical Center and survived, according to the same report. City data tracked through Cincinnati's Reported Shootings dashboard focuses on both fatal and non-fatal shootings citywide, including those with suspected violent group member involvement, according to insights.cincinnati-oh.gov.
