The incident is the second deadly shooting this week.
Two women were killed in a shooting at Harshman Road and Tidewater Drive in Riverside early Saturday morning. Taprice Goodwin, 27, died at the scene. Ariana Middlebrooke, also 27, was taken to a hospital, where she succumbed to her injuries.
Hall said that the shooting of Nascia Goodwin and the shooting of Taprice Goodwin and Ariana Middlebrook were not connected. While Nascia Goodwin and Taprice Goodwin shared a last name, there is no evidence that they were related.
Police on Wednesday received a report where a caller said that the shooter came out of nowhere and began shooting, initial records indicated. The caller said that she saw someone get shot before she fled.
A third shooting was reported in Dayton Monday afternoon after a woman reported a man was shot in a car near West Hillcrest Avenue and Mayfair Road.
The victim, described as a man his mid- to late 20s, was taken to the hospital for treatment. Hall said the victim suffered life-threatening injuries, but likely will survive.
