DELHI TOWNSHIP, Ohio — One man is in police custody for shooting a 20-year-old woman in the same shopping complex where there was a fatal shooting less than 24 hours ago, Delhi police said.

Cincinnati police arrested 20-year-old Isaiah Johnson for felonious assault in connection to the shooting.

Police said the woman was shot in her car at the shopping complex in the 4900 block of Delhi Road just before 10:30 p.m. Friday night. That complex is the same one where police say a man was shot and killed early Friday morning by an employee inside the VIP Smoke Shop after he broke in to the store.

The woman shot Friday night was driven a few blocks west on Delhi Road where police found her. Police say she was taken to UC Medical Center with a gunshot wound to the chest, but were not able to elaborate on her condition.

Police said earlier in the evening a vigil was being held for the victim of that earlier shooting. An argument started during the vigil and ultimately led to the second shooting, police said.

Delhi police said the shooter was spotted by Cincinnati police. He ran from them and ended up in a home in the 1100 block of McPherson Avenue. Cincinnati SWAT was called to the scene and was able to arrest Johnson peacefully following a brief standoff.

Johnson is currently being held at the Hamilton County Justice Center. He is set to be in court Monday.
