Cincinnati District 4 police continued Sunday to investigate the shooting of two men following an argument on an Avondale street.
Both were treated at University Hospital following the Saturday afternoon shooting and released.
No arrest has been made.
Police said the two victims were among a group of four men arguing near the intersection of Burnet and Forest avenues at 1 p.m. Saturday.
Then someone emerged from the side of the building at 3505 Burnet Ave. and fired nine shots from a 9mm gun, District 4 Detective Joy Ludgatis said Sunday.
The victims were identified as Kirk Mosley, 36, of Avondale, and Kevin Davis, no age available, also of Avondale. Both were shot in the leg.
The victims ran from the scene and into the restroom of the nearby Super Suds Coin Laundry on Burnet Avenue. There, attendant Wesley Johnson told them, “Look man, you got to go, I got ladies and kids in here.”
By then, police arrived in response to the gunshots.
Mr. Johnson explained Sunday: “I was sweeping the front, then all of a sudden, I heard one shot. And I know the difference between a firecracker and a gunshot. Then I heard four, five more, pow, pow, pow.”
He said that when he told the men to leave, one of the shooting victims responded, “No disrespect, man, but if someone was shooting at you, wouldn't you run?”
