A WCPO 9 crew saw more than 30 evidence markers placed around the scene by police while they were investigating.

Another shooting victim was found with non-life-threatening injuries more than 8 miles away at the intersection of Colerain Avenue and Blue Rock Road in Northside. Police said the two scenes were connected.
