Joe Mixon's House Investigated by Police After Gunshots Reported, Juvenile Injured

A juvenile was injured outside the home of Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon on Monday night after a report of shots being fired.

According to Chancelor Winn and Brian Planalp of Fox 19 in Cincinnati, police entered Mixon's home in the early morning hours of Tuesday and surrounded it with crime scene tape.

Per Mike Schell of Fox 19, a neighbor said that the shots came from Mixon's house, though it's not clear who fired the gun:

Winn and Planalp noted it was unclear whether Mixon had any involvement.

Per Mike Dardis of WLWT in Cincinnati, Mixon's sister Shelonda said Mixon was not involved in the incident, which was described as a shooting.

Mixon, 26, has spent his six-year NFL career with Cincinnati after getting selected by the Bengals in the second round of the 2017 draft.

An arrest warrant was issued for the 2021 Pro Bowler last month after it was alleged he pointed a gun at someone in downtown Cincinnati and said: "You should be popped in the face. I should shoot you; the police can't get me."

Police later rescinded the warrant and said a "procedural misstep" was made in issuing it in the first place.

The case was submitted for "cursory review" to determine whether there would be cause to issue another warrant.

Mixon was a key part of the Bengals team that reached the Super Bowl in the 2021 season and the 2022 season's AFC Championship Game.

His future with Cincinnati is in flux, however, as he could be released this offseason in a move that would save the Bengals almost $7.3 million against the salary cap.
