Cincinnati police, with assistance from U.S. Marshals, arrested 27-year-old Ricardo Maxwell Jr. in connection with the shooting. Maxwell was charged with Mister Williams’ murder and held in the Franklin County Jail awaiting extradition to Hamilton County. Investigators said the shooting was not random and that Maxwell was believed to be the shooter who fled the scene.

Family, friends and nearby day care centers were affected as people gathered at the scene and facilities locked down. Anyone with information about the shooting or Mister Williams’ death is asked to come forward.
