CINCINNATI, Ohio -- A teenager charged with killing two men during a shootout and crash on a Cincinnati interstate will be tried as an adult.

Eric Long, 18 of Springdale, is charged with two counts of murder in connection with a shootout that claimed the lives of Keith Cobb, 25, and Scott Neblett Jr., 25.

The shooting and crash happened along southbound I-75 near Glendale Milford Road just after 2:30 a.m. on March 18. Investigators believe the incident started with a fight at the Garage Sports Bar & Grill in Sharonville.

Long, who was 17-years-old at the time of the shooting, was taken into custody last month.

The Hamilton County Coroner's Office determined that Cobb and Neblett, both from Westwood, died from gunshot wounds, not the crash.

Police say two other individuals, Fonta Whipple, 26, and Jashawn Clark, 25, are people of interest but have not yet been charged. They are currently behind bars at the Hamilton County Justice Center in connection to a shooting at a car wash in Lockland last month.
