Cincinnati nightclub shooting: Police still searching for suspects

TIL Desk/World/Cincinnati-Cincinnati police searched for suspects in a nightclub shooting that left one man dead and 15 other people injured and sent club patrons diving to the ground to dodge bullets in what they described as a chaotic and terrifying scene. A gunfight broke out inside the crowded Cameo club early Sunday after a dispute among several patrons escalated into a shootout, authorities said.

Some 200 people were inside the club near the Ohio River east of downtown Cincinnati at the time. “What we know at this point in the investigation is that several local men got into some type of dispute inside the bar, and it escalated into shots being fired from several individuals,” Cincinnati Police Chief Eliot Isaac said. It was not immediately clear how many people fired shots.

O’Bryan Spikes, 27, was killed and 15 other people were injured. At least five victims remained hospitalised Monday morning. A University of Cincinnati Medical Center spokeswoman said two were in critical condition and three were in stable. No suspects were in custody in the shooting at the club, which police said has a history of gun violence.
