The first reports started coming in earlier this evening that Joe Mixon was potentially involved in some sort of shooting that injured a juvenile.
Fox19 in Cincinnati has substantiated those reports.
The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office is investigating an incident Monday evening that left a juvenile injured.
The sheriff’s media release offers extremely limited information.
Deputies responded to the 7900 block of Ayers Road in Anderson Township for a report of shots fired, the sheriff says.
One juvenile was transported to the hospital with minor injuries.
It isn’t clear that any shots were actually fired, nor is it clear how the juvenile was injured.
The sheriff’s office calls it an “active investigation.”
Deputies have extended crime scene tape across two houses on the street and are currently assembled at the door of one of the homes. Deputies were observed around 11:30 p.m. banging on the door, identifying themselves as sheriff’s deputies and telling the homeowner to come out. No movement as of midnight.
There is at least one evidence marker in that home’s yard.
We have confirmed the home belongs to Bengals running back Joe Mixon. His involvement is unclear.
Police have allowed a car into the home’s driveway.
From a strictly football perspective, there had been some discussion if the Bengals would even keep Mixon on the roster, so you know they are monitoring the situation closely.
Mixon recently had charges dropped for allegedly pulling out a gun on someone during a road rage incident less than a month to go.
According to reports, cops have been trying to get Mixon to come out of the residence, but he has decided not to at this time. Mixon or the Bengals haven’t commented on the situation.
Twitter was the first to report on the situation and provided video of what appeared to be gunshots. This is a developing story.
