    Cincinnati police have identified the 18-year-old who was killed in early Saturday morning shooting near Withrow High School, Cincinnati police said.

    Around 3:45 a.m. Saturday, police responded to Dana Avenue and Madison Road. Upon arrival, officers found Lamon Wiggins shot.

    Wiggins was transported to the UC Medical Center, where he died, police said.

    Wiggins graduated from Withrow High School on Friday.

    Police told WCPO 9 that there "was some kind of event in the parking lot" involving around 50 kids at the time of the shooting.

    Our crew saw officers place down multiple evidence markers in various locations around the high school.

    A resident near the scene spoke with us saying the shooting woke him up, and he found a bullet hole through his front door, with the bullet lodged into his back wall.

    A nearby Ring camera at another home along Larkspur Avenue captured the sound of multiple gunshots at the time of the shooting. More than 25 gunshots can be heard in less than 30 seconds.

    Investigators have not yet provided any suspect information.

    CPD said this investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked to call the Homicide Unit at 513-352-3542.

    Cincinnati Public Schools released a statement Saturday saying the district's Crisis Response Team will be at Withrow on Monday for support.

    "Cincinnati Public Schools mourns the death of Withrow University High School graduate, Lamon Wiggins," the district said. "We recognize this tragic event and our sympathy and support remains with the family, friends and school community."

    Family, friends and Withrow High School alumni gathered Sunday in honor of Wiggins, where they released balloons on the high school's football field.
