In the early hours of July 1, 2024, a mass shooting near the University of Cincinnati left three people dead and one injured. The attack happened about 2:45 AM at 306 E. University Avenue. Twenty-two-year-old Shawn McDaniel Jr. was among the four people shot and was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he later died.

Also killed were Shawn McDaniel Sr., 45, who was pronounced dead at the scene, and 21-year-old Laurenz Nixon, who died at the hospital. A fourth victim was hospitalized in serious but stable condition. Officers from Cincinnati Police District Four and the Cincinnati Fire Department responded; police reported seeing a man enter a residence with a gun and there was a brief standoff, but officials have not confirmed any arrests connected to the shooting. The Homicide Unit is investigating.

Does anyone have information about what happened that night or saw anything around 306 E. University Avenue shortly before or after 2:45 AM?
