A teenager was arrested in connection to the fatal shooting of a man near the University of Cincinnati in Corryville on Saturday night.
Police arrested a 15-year-old overnight after 25-year-old Kyle Mirick was shot dead in the 2900 block of Short Vine Street, according to a news release. The Enquirer does not name juveniles accused of crimes unless their cases have been transferred to adult court.
University of Cincinnati and Cincinnati police officers responded to the scene, across from the Vine Street Flats, around 9:30 p.m. after reports of a shooting.
UC officers found Mirick with a gunshot wound to the chest when they arrived. Mirick was transported to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he later died.
Initial radio traffic indicates about 10 shots were fired in front of Staggerlee’s liquor store and the suspect took off in a car after the shooting. A gun was recovered at the scene, according to radio traffic.
Police did not release any information about what led up to the shooting.
The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call the Cincinnati Police’s Homicide Unit at 513-352-3542.
