Withrow High School to offer students counseling after recent graduate was fatally shot

Withrow University High School students will have access to counseling services Monday after a graduate was shot and killed the night of commencement.

Lamon Wiggins, 18, died early Saturday after he was found shot in the 2300 block of Dana Avenue in Hyde Park, just around the corner from Withrow. He was pronounced dead after arriving at University of Cincinnati Medical Center.

Wiggins had just received his diploma at Friday's graduation ceremony.

"Cincinnati Public Schools mourns the death of a Withrow University High School graduate, Lamon Wiggins," a statement provided by Cincinnati Public Schools reads. "We recognize this tragic event and our sympathy and support remains with the family, friends and school community."

The district's Crisis Response Team will be at the school Monday to provide continued support. CPS will also cooperate with the Cincinnati Police Department throughout its investigation, the district said.

Before the shooting, police said that there was a gathering of around 50 people from Friday night into the early hours of Saturday morning.

Cincinnati police are continuing to investigate. They have also not identified a suspect nor made any arrests.

Anyone with information is asked to call homicide detectives at 513-352-3040.
