CINCINNATI — One person is dead and another injured after a shooting in Mount Airy on Wednesday afternoon, the Cincinnati Police Department said.

The shooting happened at approximately 4 p.m. in the 4900 block of Hawaiian Terrace.

Officers said they found 33-year-old Ronald Steele on the scene with multiple gunshot wounds.

He was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center where he died, CPD said.

Jonah Hundley, 23, was arrested and charged with Steele's murder. He is also charged with felonious assault, after officers found a second victim who had been shot in the leg. CPD said he self-transported to Mercy West Hospital and is in stable condition.

In court Thursday morning, Hundley claimed that the shooting was self-defense. He said he was "aggressively approached by two men and defended himself."

Hundley's bond was set at $1 million. He is set to appear before a grand jury on July 8.

CPD asks anyone with any information to call its Homicide Unit at 513-352-3542.
