CINCINNATI — A 22-year-old man died after he was shot in Downtown Cincinnati Wednesday night, according to police at the scene.

Officers with the Cincinnati Police Department responded to the intersection of Walnut and East 8th streets Wednesday around 8:45 p.m. for a shooting. When officers arrived on scene, they found 22-year-old Keshawn Turner suffering from a gunshot wound.
