Police have identified the name of the person killed in an overnight Cincinnati nightclub shooting that also left 15 people injured.

The victim was identified at a news conference as 27-year-old O'Bryan Spikes.

Police say calls came in of shots fired at the Cameo club around 1:30 a.m. Sunday.

Police Chief Eliot Isaac said the bar was very crowded at the time when several men got into a dispute at the bar and shots were fired by several people.

Isaac said the club does wand and pat down patrons but several firearms made it through security anyway.

A hospital spokeswoman said two of the wounded are in critical condition; the police chief said one is "extremely critical."

Authorities don't believe there is a terrorism link. They are still working to identify the shooters.

Gov. John Kasich says he is saddened and offers prayers for the victims and families of all involved.
