Detectives with the East Ridge Police Department are investigating the shooting of a man last Saturday that happened at a residence on Welworth Avenue.

According to a police report, officers responded to 6116 Welworth just after midnight in reference to a person shot. When officers arrived they found a man laying in the street suffering from a gunshot to his abdomen and right inner thigh. 

According to the report, the victim told police that his ex-girlfriend’s “new man” was the person responsible for his wounds. The victim could give police little further information. The man was transported by ambulance to Erlanger hospital. Officials said that the man’s wounds were not life-threatening.

The report states that once the victim was shot he initially called his ex-girlfriend’s father. The man told the victim to hang up and call 911. While police were on the scene, the ex-girlfriend’s father arrived to check on the victim. 

Investigator’s from the department’s Criminal Investigation Division responded. One of the investigators went to the hospital in an attempt to gain more information from the victim. A second stayed on scene, the report states. The victim’s ex-girlfriend came to the residence during this time. The woman was detained and taken to the ERPD station to be interviewed about the incident. 

As of Thursday afternoon no arrests have been made in relation to the shooting.
