CINCINNATI — A 23-year-old is dead after a shooting in College Hill Monday afternoon.

Cincinnati police said District 3 officers found one man shot in the 1700 block of Llanfair Avenue. That person, 23-year-old Danias Weaver, was pronounced dead.

Police said the shooting did force nearby schools to be placed under brief lockdowns. While the shooting was not on school property, it occurred near College Hill Fundamental Academy. Cincinnati Public Schools said the school, along with nearby Aiken High School, was put on a temporary "lockout" where doors were locked and no visitors were allowed. The lockouts were later lifted.

Also nearby is Mercy McAuley High School, which was also placed on a brief lockdown during police activity.

WCPO has a crew at the scene and will update this story with more information when it is available.
