NORTH COLLEGE HILL — A fight in the parking lot of a North College Hill sports bar ended with one man dead and another wounded in a shooting Sunday evening, police said.
Officers were called to Fricker’s Bar and Grill at 1580 Goodman Ave. around 5 p.m. Sunday after a report of two people shot. A woman on a 911 call told operators at least two people were fighting in the parking lot and both had pulled out guns; gunshots rang out while she was still reporting the dispute, sending panic through the bar.
When officers arrived, they found one person with multiple gunshot wounds and another with a gunshot wound to the arm. Both were rushed to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. Donald Jamar Hales died at the hospital later that night, according to police and the Hamilton County Coroner’s Office.
