A second victim, a 13-month-old, was also taken to UCMC with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds.

Spraggs succumbed to his injuries on March 3, 2023, at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
In connection with this tragic incident, law enforcement has made two arrests. On an unspecified date, Cincinnati police arrested a 15-year-old boy for his alleged involvement in the shooting. Due to the suspect's age, his name has not been released to the public.
