CINCINNATI — A 60-year-old man was shot and killed early Wednesday morning in Roselawn.
The shooting happened just before 5 a.m. Wednesday morning at the Roselawn Summit Apartments in the 1600 block of Summit Road. Our WCPO 9 photographer Katie Cepero arrived shortly before 7 a.m. and saw Cincinnati police officers next to a taped-off area on the side of the building. The coroner was also at the scene at that time. Our photographer on the scene saw the coroner remove a body from the scene.
We asked officers on the scene for more information, but were not given anything else to report. We also called CPD Public Information Officer Lt. Jonathan Cunningham, who said a press release with more info would be "coming soon."
More than 24 hours after our request for information, Cincinnati police sent a press release about the incident. Sergeant Dwane Wilson with the homicide unit said when officers arrived, they found 60-year-old Gary Holmes with a gunshot wound. Officers attempted life-saving measures, but Holmes was pronounced dead, Wilson said.
Wilson did not provide any information about suspects.
Cincinnati police ask anyone with information about the case to call (513)352-3542.
