Authorities are investigating the non-life-threatening shooting of a child at the Cincinnati home of Bengals running back Joe Mixon.
Deputies were called to the 7900 block of Ayers Road in Anderson Township just before 8:30 p.m. Monday, the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office said.
A child was transported to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, it said.
An incident report from the sheriff’s office names two suspects who have not been charged. Mixon is not one of them.
“We cannot confirm additional details outside of what is outlined in the Incident Report.
Our investigative team continues to review the evidence and conduct interviews. No charges have been filed at this time. That is all we have to release,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
Mixon’s representative and the Bengals did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Authorities said sheriff’s deputies obtained a search warrant for the home “and were able to gather evidence that will be part of this active investigation.”
“Our detectives will continue to review this evidence diligently and conduct interviews,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement, adding that it hopes to have an update later this week. It declined to respond to additional questions.
Mixon was charged at the same home in February and accused of pointing a gun at a woman and threatening her, NBC affiliate WLWT of Cincinnati reported.
The charge was dismissed, and the case was reassigned, according to WLWT, which said it was unclear whether Mixon lives at the property, which a trust listed as the owner.
