Police are looking for the gunman who opened fire at a Cincinnati nightclub early Sunday morning leaving one dead and more than a dozen injured.
The shooting happened around 1:30 a.m. at the Cameo Night Club on the city's eastside.
The conflict is believed to have begun between specific groups or individuals earlier in the day, escalating and ultimately leading to this tragedy occurring at the nightclub," Cincinnati City Manager Harry Black told WLWT5.
Fifteen people were injured and officials said one person is in critical condition.
Ambulances rushed several to the hospital, while others went on their own.
Police said Obryan Spikes, 27, died at the scene.
Assistant Police Chief Paul Neudigate said investigators don't believe the shooting was an act of terror, noting that the club has issues in the past.
“We are aware of it. It has had some challenges in the past,” Neudigate said.
A witness told WLWT5 that security has been requested by the DJ minutes before the shooting.
