Here are the top three stories today in Cincinnati:

1. A teenager was fatally shot in Over-The-Rhine on Friday night. According to the Cincinnati Police Department, officers heard gunshots from the Orchard and Main Street area, where they found 15-year-old Shawn Lewis suffering from a gunshot wound. Lewis was transported to Cincinnati Children's Hospital, where he died shortly after. Anyone with information about the homicide is asked to contact the CPD's Homicide Unit at 513-352-3542.

2. On Saturday, hundreds of cyclists came together to help fight cancer at the 16th annual Ride Cincinnati. Each year, riders leave from downtown Cincinnati and raise funds for life-saving cancer care and research in the greater Cincinnati area. Those who wish to donate to Ride Cincinnati can do so online, with 100 percent of each donation going to the worthy cause. (WKRC TV Cincinnati)
3. A Columbus-based entertainment company is bringing an "adult playground" to a Cincinnati suburb. Pins Mechanical Co., which launched its first Cincy location in Over-The-Rhine in 2018, plans to open a second location in Deerfield Township in early 2024. The playground will feature duckpin bowling, pinball, video games, and a two-story corkscrew slide. (WKRC TV Cincinnati)
