Joe Mixon’s sister says he’s not involved in shooting as police cordon off his house
Police surrounded the home of Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon after deputies responded to reports of shots fired in the area late Monday night, Fox 19 Now reported.
Mixon’s sister said her brother wasn’t involved in an Ohio incident that left a teenager injured.
Mike Dardis, news anchor for WLWT News 5 in Cincinnati, tweeted that Shelonda Mixon told the media outlet that her brother was not involved.
Dardis tweeted: “#Police tape wrapped in front of home listed as Joe Mixon’s in early February incident report in another case. Tonight I spoke with Mixon’s sister Shelonda. She tells me Joe was not involved in the shooting Monday night that injured a teenager. Deputies are still there.”
No arrests were made, and the scene has since been cleared.
The shooting was reported around 8:30 p.m. in Anderson Township, an area about 13 miles southeast of downtown Cincinnati.
Fox 19 Now reports crime scene tape was stretched across two houses, one of which was Mixon’s home, and one piece of evidence was marked in the home’s yard while deputies were investigating the scene.
