Cincinnati Police officers responded to a Wednesday night shooting at the Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Police arrived before 6:30 p.m. to find victim Dashawn Wheeler, 19, who died of his wounds.

Police are also investigating a sexual assault that occurred yesterday. The female victim described her attacker as a 30-year old black male, around 5’10, wearing a blue windbreaker, a tee shirt, baggy jeans and red, black and white Nike gym shoes.
