FOX19 Cincinnati, March 26, 2017
One person was killed and 15 others injured when gunfire broke out inside a crowded nightclub Sunday morning.
The shooting happened around 1:30 a.m. at Cameo Nightclub, located at 4601 Kellogg Avenue in Cincinnati’s East End.
Cincinnati Police said the shooting resulted from a dispute between several men and escalated into shots being fired inside the club. There’s no reason to suspect terrorism, officials said.
27-year-old Obryan Spikes has been identified as the victim. At least one other person is listed in critical condition.
Chief Eliot Isaac said investigators believe more than one shooter was involved. Police have received multiple witness accounts and are working to determine what is actually fact, according to Isaac.
"People were just going to have a good time and got shot. That is totally unacceptable," said Mayor John Cranley.
A fight broke out before shots were fired inside the crowded club, one witness said. She described a chaotic scene with club-goers hitting the ground or trying to escape the building.
Four officers were already at the nightclub providing security when the shooting happened.
The Cameo club has a history of gun violence including a shooting inside the club on New Years Day 2015 and a shooting in the parking lot in September of the same year, Black said. [More]
