DAYTON — A suspect in the shooting deaths of four people in Ohio has been arrested in Kansas.
Meanwhile, authorities are looking for suspects in a shooting in Cincinnati’s Over-the-Rhine neighborhood that left nine people hurt.
Columbus was not immune from violence over the weekend. A 19-year-old man died after being shot on the South Side Saturday afternoon.
Police in Montgomery County’s Butler Township said late Saturday night that 39-year-old Stephen Marlow was taken into custody by local police in Lawrence, Kansas.
Chief John Porter said Marlow will be extradited to Ohio to face charges in Friday’s slayings.
Officers were called to the neighborhood shortly before noon Friday on a report of shots fired and found four victims with gunshot wounds at multiple crime scenes, police said.
The Dayton Daily News reported that the victims were found in two separate homes where they lived, near the home owned by Marlow’s parents.
The Montgomery County coroner’s office on Saturday identified the victims as 82-year-old Clyde Knox, 78-year-old Eva Knox, 41-year-old Sarah Anderson and a 15-year-old girl whose name wasn’t released.
All were pronounced dead at the scene.
Court documents don’t list an attorney representing Marlow.
Nine hurt in Cincinnati shooting
At least nine people were wounded — none critically — in a shooting outside a Cincinnati bar early Sunday, police said.
The shooting took place shortly after 1:30 a.m. outside Mr. Pitiful’s bar in the Over-the-Rhine district, a popular nightlife area.
Police said eight men and one woman were wounded, mostly in the lower extremities.
The University of Cincinnati Medical Center said nine people were treated and released.
Police said an officer fired one round at a suspect who fled the scene, but it was unclear if that person was hit.
Mayor Aftab Pureval called the gunfire “completely and totally unacceptable.”
