TRAGEDY: Bengals star Joe Mixon denies running back was involved in incident that left…….
The sister of Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon denied her brother was involved in an Ohio incident that left a teenager injured Monday night.
Shelonda Mixon relayed the message to WLWT-TV as authorities in Anderson Township appeared to search the home of the NFL star after responding to a report of shots fired
Hamilton County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a call of shots fired around 8:30 p.m. ET, police said. One juvenile was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Authorities placed crime scene tape around Mixon’s home, and there was one evidence marker in the player’s yard, according to FOX 19. Deputies appeared to be investigating the incident into the early hours of Tuesday morning, the station reported.
The crime scene tape was taken down around 3:20 a.m. ET Tuesday and no arrests were made.
The incident seemingly outside Mixon’s home comes just over a month after the running back faced a misdemeanor charge of menacing over allegations he threatened and pointed a gun at a woman in Cincinnati, stemming from an alleged incident in January
An order dismissing the case in Hamilton County Municipal County Court said the city prosecutor’s office requested the dismissal “in the interest of justice.”
The sheriff’s office confirmed that part of the crime scene involved a home connected to the Bengals running back.
A rep for Mixon did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital for a request for comment.
