Trenton police are looking for a suspect in a shooting early Wednesday morning on Third Street.
Officers were called about 3:30 a.m. to the 800 block of Third and found a man suffering a non life- threatening gunshot wound inside the apartment. He was transported to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton for treatment. The suspect fled from the residence, according to Police Chief Patrick Carr.
“It was a disturbance that escalated into a fight between two individuals that escalated into someone acquiring a firearm an a person being shot,” Carr said.

If the Ohio Supreme Court agrees to reconsider and ultimately upholds the $3.4 million award for New Miami speeders the lead plaintiff would not get a refund, just the satisfaction the cameras are no longer rolling.
After the Ohio Supreme Court dismissed the case last month, the attorneys for about 33,000 speeders asked the Ohio Supreme Court to reconsider ending the $3.4 million lawsuit that has dragged on for eight years. The justices said they “improvidently” accepted the case, meaning they shouldn’t have taken it in the first place.
New Miami’s attorney James Englert responded on Monday basically saying the issue is moot because new laws require municipal courts to handle speed camera tickets, not the administrative hearing panels that were found so objectionable, “There is no issue for this Court to decide as a matter of great public importance.”

Hamilton’s Macie and Marie Cunningham visited the Ohio Statehouse March 10, to sing The Star-Spangled-Banner before state representatives took their seats for a voting session. The sisters competed on season 21 of NBC’s singing competition “The Voice,” first appearing on Sept. 28, 2021.

With their immense talent, I look forward to watching them represent Ohio well in all their future endeavors.”
During their time on The Voice, the Cunningham sisters were selected by superstar Kelly Clarkston to compete on her team.
Massive project at Five Points intersection begins; traffic will be affected
HAMILTON/FAIRFIELD TWP. — The long-awaited Five Points intersection roundabout improvement will get under way Monday, and that means a part of Hancock Avenue will be closed for about two months.
The Butler County Engineer’s Office said the roundabout construction’s first phase phase requires a 60-day closure of Hancock Avenue from the intersection to approximately 100 feet southeast of Bender Avenue. The road will be closed to all through-traffic and is tentatively scheduled to reopen on May 13, weather permitting. Hamilton Mason Road and Grand Boulevard will remain open until the final weeks of construction.
The Five Points intersection straddles the border of Hamilton and Fairfield Twp., and is a crossroads where Hancock Avenue, Grand Boulevard, Tylersville Road, Hamilton-Mason Road and Tuley Road meet.
Hamilton passes resolution in support of Ukraine after Russia’s ‘brutal invasion’
The city of Hamilton unanimously passed a resolution Wednesday night to support Ukraine against Russia’s invasion of the former soviet country.
Hamilton is the latest local government in the Buckeye State to support Ukraine and condemn the Russian invasion. City councils in Cincinnati, Columbus and Cleveland also expressed support through similar resolutions last week.
Mayor Pat Moeller read the resolution that would be sent to the city’s elected delegation in Columbus and Ohio’s delegation in Washington, D.C. This is Hamilton’s first city council meeting since Russia invaded Ukraine.

Fisher Industrial Park is expanding with speculative building project
One of Fairfield’s largest industrial buildings is nearly full and is attracting consideration from potential tenants.
So Plymouth Industrial REIT, the owner of Fisher Industrial Park at the corner of Dixie Highway and Symmes Road, has broken ground on the northern part of its lot to construct a 150,000-square-foot speculative warehouse building.
“Fisher Park as it exists today is nearly fully leased, and we’re getting strong activity there,” said Plymouth Industrial REIT Vice President/Regional Manager Benjamin Crock. “The metrics support the demand that’s there, Fairfield’s a great blue-collar market with easy access, and the success rate at Fisher Park being almost fully leased. We thought let’s keep that going, and all those things coupled together made the decision pretty easy to build on this parcel.”
