MOUNT HEALTHY, Ohio — The 42-year-old man killed in a shooting in Mount Healthy on Sept. 28 was "an innocent bystander and not the intended target," the Hamilton County Sheriff's Office said Friday afternoon.
The sheriff's office said Reginald Simpson was sitting in his vehicle near the Speedway gas station in the 7300 block of Hamilton Avenue at around 3 a.m. Sept. 28 when he was shot. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
During their investigation into the shooting, detectives learned the suspects had followed their intended targets there from the Hilltop Plaza Shopping Center. While the vehicle they were driving has been recovered, the suspects are still at large.
The sheriff's office is asking anyone with information involving the shooting to call their tipline at 513-586-5533 or 513-825-1500.
