RIVERSIDE, Ohio (AP) - The fatal shooting of two women in a city near Dayton last weekend “was not a random attack,” authorities announced Tuesday.

Riverside police found Taprice Goodwin and Ariana Middlebook, both 27, when officers responded to reports of shots fired in a neighborhood. Goodwin was pronounced dead at the scene, while Middlebrook died a short time later at a hospital.

No other injuries were reported, and a motive for the shooting remains under investigation.



Authorities declined comment on specific details about the shooting, citing the ongoing investigation.
