"When will this stop?" Dominic's dad, Isaac Davis, said at a news conference Sunday.

"How many people have to bury their kids, their babies, their loved ones?" Davis asked.

"Anybody that knows anything, come forward, please," he said. "We're begging."

"Our entire city is grieving," Cincinnati City Manager Sheryl Long said.

Long said she's lost a relative to gun violence and she's "heartbroken and appalled" by this latest fatal shooting to strike the city.

"I will work tirelessly... to bring the perpetrators to justice," she said, adding, "It's not enough. Violence like this cannot be our status quo. It cannot be tolerated."

"Turn yourself in," the chief said. "Because if you don't, we will find you and we will bring you to justice."
