Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon’s home was swarmed by cops and surrounded by crime scene tape Monday night after a juvenile was shot.
The wounded teenager suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to a nearby hospital, police said Tuesday.
No arrests have been made. Mixon’s connection to the incident remains unclear. His sister, Shalonda, said Mixon was not involved in any way, local NBC affiliate WLWT reported.
The Hamilton County sheriff’s office said only that “part of the crime scene involves a home connected to Bengals player Joe Mixon.”
Cops responded to a shots fired report on the 7900 block of Ayers Rd. in Cincinnati around 8:30 p.m. Monday.
After the juvenile was taken to the hospital, officers searched Mixon’s home and taped off the property.
“Our detectives will continue to review this evidence diligently and conduct interviews,” the sheriff’s office said. “We hope to provide a more comprehensive update to the investigation later this week.”
