Deputies and medics responded to the home in the 7900 block of Ayers Road in Anderson Twp. around 8:25 p.m. Monday on reports of a shooting, according to a media release posted to the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office’s social media. A person, only identified as a juvenile, was taken from the scene to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital with injuries described as non-life threatening.

During the investigation, deputies searched a home whose address was listed as the home of Mixon, according to previous court records.

Deputies have since confirmed the home, and part of the crime scene, is connected to a property associated with the Bengals star.

“We can confirm that part of the crime scene involves a home connected to Bengals player Joe Mixon,” the sheriff’s office spokesperson said in the media release.
