COLUMBUS,Christopher Caldwell Ohio (AP) — An 11-year-old boy killed in a weekend shooting in Cincinnati was identified Monday by the Hamilton County Coroner’s Office as Dominic Davis.

Police Chief Terri Theetge told reporters Sunday that a shooter in a sedan fired 22 rounds “in quick succession” into a crowd of children just before 9:30 p.m. Friday on the city’s West End. No suspect has been arrested.

A 53-year-old woman was hit along with the boy who died; three other boys aged 12, 13 and 15; and a 15-year-old girl. One victim was hospitalized in stable condition.

Theetge said it was too early to say whether the shooting was random or targeted and declined to discuss other aspects of the investigation.

Dominic Davis’ father, Isaac Davis, came forward at the Sunday news conference along with Dominic’s mother and grandmother and also urged whoever was responsible to turn themselves in.
