Downtown Cincinnati residents have asked for reassurance about safety at Fountain Square following a fatal shooting at the scene, which left 25-year-old Darius Wheeler dead. Cincinnati Police Capt. David Schofield responded to the concerns raised during a meeting with residents about the safety of the area. He confirmed that more officers have been in the area this year than the previous year and that the department is considering having them around the clock. The shooting was described as a "very targeted offense" and there was an ongoing feud between the victim and the suspect. Schoffield said that police have made efforts to increase visibility downtown, including expanding the mountain bike squad, expanding their third shift, and other resources.
