The Butler County Coroner’s Office said Shamel died of gunshot wounds.
Sgt. Rich Burkhardt said Friday the investigation was ongoing and there had been no arrests.
A woman placed a 911 call stating an intruder had shot her son.
“Someone just barged in and shot my son,” the caller said. “I need an ambulance right away.”
When the dispatcher asked if he was conscious, the woman answered, “he is still breathing. He is gasping.”
As the dispatcher gathered information for police and paramedics en route, the mother said while crying, “Darrian? Ma’am he is gone. He’s gone.”
Dispatchers instructed Shamel’s girlfriend in CPR until help arrived.
Anyone with information about the homicide is asked to call Detective David Weissinger at 513-868-5811, ext. 1296 or Detective Robert Horton at 513-868-5811, ext. 1236.
