CINCINNATI — A black activist shot on a sidewalk outside City Hall after speaking to the City Council has died, his family said.
Michael Bailey died Saturday at University Hospital, three days after he was shot in the leg, arm and chest, relatives said in a news conference.
"Not only has Cincinnati lost a great leader, I have lost my best friend," said Ted Bailey, his brother. "My brother did fight a very, very valiant fight. He died with dignity."
Police did not respond to calls Saturday and Sunday seeking comment on whether an assault charge against the man accused of the shooting would be upgraded.
