A hospital official said the man wasn’t listed as a patient there on Monday afternoon.
While police were investigating the shooting, they learned another male was at Kettering Health Middletown with multiple gunshot wounds, according to the police report obtained by this news agency.
Nelson said a fight in the bar spilled out into the parking lot, and that’s when the shots were fired. He said police are searching for two or three suspects in the shooting.
Police said one suspect’s vehicle fled the scene, then crashed and he fled on foot. Officers attempted a K-9 track that was unsuccessful, they said.
Police are looking for Matthew Andrew Martin, 26, identified as one of the alleged shooters. Warrants for felonious assault have been issued for his arrest, according to police.
A woman who lives near the bar told the Journal-News she heard four shots, then a possible car crash. She said police have responded to the bar several times over the last year.
The Journal-News checked the calls for service at or near the bar’s address and found police have been called there 33 times in 2023 for a wide range of reasons. Monday was the first time this year police have been there on a report someone was shot, according to records.
While the neighbor said she supports small business, she said nearby residents don’t feel safe.
The bar was open at 10 a.m. Monday, eight hours after the shooting. There is a sign near the front door that reads: “Members Only.”
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Detective Kristi Hughes at 513-425-7733 or Detective Patrick Glassburn at 513-425-7724.
