CINCINNATI — The sister of the man shot and killed at a house party in Corryville late Thursday night said she believes he was targeted for armed robbery.

"They took my whole brother's life. A whole life. He's 21," said Deangela Weakley, the older sister of Dujawn Samuel "Sam" McDaniel Foster III.

Police said shots were fired at around 11 p.m. at a large house party on the 200 block of Fosdick Street. Foster was shot and killed inside the home. A 16-year-old was shot in the arm and took himself to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, where he was in stable condition.

Everyone involved in the shooting fled the scene, police said. No suspect information was released.

Foster's sister said he was working two jobs to get ahead and had so much promise. Now, she wants answers.

"I don't have any more tears to cry. I'm at a point right now where I want justice for my brother," Weakley said. "I want justice for my brother. All my energy is going to get justice for my brother."

Anyone with any information is asked to call the Cincinnati Police Department's Homicide Unit at 513-352-3542.
