Wiggins was taken to UC Medical Center, where he died.
Police previously told WCPO that there "was some kind of event in the parking lot" involving around 50 kids at the time of the shooting.
A resident who lived near the scene said the shooting woke them up, and they found a bullet hole through the front door of their house, with the bullet lodged into the back wall.
Wiggins graduated from Withrow High School the night before the shooting.
Family, friends and Withrow High School alumni gathered on the high school's football field the day after the incident occurred for a balloon release to remember Wiggins.
CPD said this investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to call the Homicide Unit at 513-352-3542.
