Rodgers was taken to Reid Health before being transferred to Miami Valley Hospital.

At this time, investigators believe the shooting was an isolated incident.

The Richmond Police Department Investigative Services Division’s (ISD) investigation has been hindered by a victim’s “lack of cooperation.”

“It is frustrating when those directly impacted by violent crime choose not to cooperate with investigators. Every act of violence in our city affects not only the victim but the safety of the entire community,” Police Chief Kyle Weatherly said.

Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact lead ISD Detective Amanda Thackrey at (765) 983-7314.
