Cincinnati PD: 11-year-old among 3 found dead inside home after SWAT standoff

Cincinnati police have identified the three people found dead inside a College Hill home following an hours-long SWAT standoff.

Police said 78-year-old Patricia McCollum, 32-year-old DJ McCollum and 11-year-old Kaydence McCollum were found dead with stab wounds inside a home on the 1000 block of Springbrook Drive.

Cincinnati Public Schools said Kaydence was a student at Parker Woods Montessori School. The district issued the following statement:

"Cincinnati Public Schools mourns the death of Parker Woods Montessori School student Kaydence McCollum. We recognize this tragic event, and our sympathy and support remain with the family, friends and school community. The District’s Crisis Response Team will be at the school Friday to provide support to students."

Officers responded to the home shortly before 8:30 a.m. Thursday for "an unknown trouble," police said. When they arrived, they learned there was an adult male inside with a knife.

After hours of negotiating, the adult male — now identified as 66-year-old Anthony Mathis — was taken into custody and brought to University of Cincinnati Medical Center with self-inflicted stab wounds. Police said Mathis later died from his injuries.

Police did not provide any information on the victims' relationship with the suspect. Anyone with information in this stabbing is asked to call CPD's Homicide Unit at 513-352-3542.
