CINCINNATI — A woman died at an apartment building in Walnut Hills following a shooting Tuesday, Cincinnati police said.
Police said officers responded to the Park Eden building at 2610 Park Ave. after a report of gunshots heard by building residents around 6 p.m. Tuesday.
Cincinnati police said when officers got there, they found 31-year-old Tekeya McCollum suffering from a gunshot wound in the stairwell of the building.
Police said medics were called to attempt life-saving efforts, but were not successful.
Police did not provide any information on a potential suspect or what may have led up to the shooting.
The incident is under investigation by the Cincinnati Police Department Homicide Unit.
Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority told WCPO that it's cooperating with CPD for "the well-being of our residents as well as the local community."
"We continually utilize a multi-layered approach to security that includes working with our residents, active surveillance and law enforcement partnerships," CMHA said. "We encourage Park Eden residents to share with the police any information they may have regarding the incident."
McCollum's family has shared with us a GoFundMe to help support funeral arrangements for the mother of five. If you care to donate, you can find the GoFundMe here.
Correction: A previous version of this story reported that Park Eden was a senior living facility. The Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority later clarified to WCPO that the apartments ceased to exclusively house seniors in 2022.
