A mass shooting at the Riverfront Live music venue in Cincinnati, Ohio, has left multiple people injured, according to local authorities. The late-night incident triggered a major emergency response and remains under active investigation, with officials urging calm as details continue to emerge. Officials are still working to confirm details about the motive behind the gunfire.
The shooting took place at the Riverfront Live venue on Kellogg Avenue in Cincinnati, Ohio, during an event. Riverfront Live, a 16-and-over music venue in the East End, was hosting a birthday party that began at 10 p.m. Saturday, according to an Instagram post from DJ Fresh.
The suspect shot several rounds, leading to several victims sustaining gunshot wounds. Officials confirmed that no fatalities have been reported so far, though several victims were wounded during the chaos. Early reports suggested that as many as 13 people may have been injured. Some individuals reportedly transported themselves to nearby hospitals before emergency responders arrived.
Interim Police Chief Adam Hennie said officers received the call around 1 a.m. and responded quickly. Officers had already begun working the event, helping to dispatch multiple units to manage the large crowd. Police recovered a firearm at the scene and began collecting forensic evidence. Hennie said authorities believe nine victims suffered non-life-threatening injuries from gunshot wounds. The victims were transported to UC Medical Centre and Good Samaritan Hospital.
Police have launched an active investigation but have not released details about suspects or a possible motive, citing the early stage of the probe. Hennie said investigators do not yet know what sparked the violence.
“We do not have any further information on the victims or what started this, or any information on the suspect or suspects at this time,” he said. He also noted that the venue was hosting what appeared to be a routine Friday night event. Kellogg Avenue remained closed as officers continued searching for evidence near Lunken Airport and the Ohio River.
A birthday celebration for Jermaine “DJ Fresh” Tandy was scheduled at Riverfront Live in Cincinnati, where the reported shooting happened. However, it is not confirmed if he was present at the time, and it is not clear whether DJ Fresh is OK. There has been no public statement from DJ Fresh or his representatives about his condition or whereabouts.
The Riverfront Live shooting adds to growing concerns over gun violence at public gatherings in the United States. While officials say all injuries are non-life-threatening, the lack of clarity around suspects and motive keeps the case unsettled. Authorities are continuing to gather evidence and interview witnesses, with more updates expected as the investigation progresses.
This story is still developing, and updates will come as investigators learn more.
