NORTH COLLEGE HILL, Ohio — One person is dead after a shooting in North College Hill Monday night, according to the coroner's office.

The coroner identified the victim as 18-year-old Nikkel Rashawn Drew.

The shooting happened at approximately 9:15 p.m. at the corner of Dallas Avenue and Simpson Avenue. North College Hill police said when officers arrived, they found Drew suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

Damarion Reily lives on the corner of Dallas and Simpson and said he heard the gunshots.

"I come downstairs, come outside, and just see someone laying over there and just hear people crying," he said.

Reily said the neighborhood has problems just like anywhere else, but shootings weren't something he'd expect having lived there for nearly seven years.

"I'm, like, shocked," he said. "Someone just laying right there dead. What was the reason for this type of deal?"

Police said Drew was taken to the UC Medical Center from the scene.

Neighbors in the area said they heard about six to ten shots.
