Rodgers was killed and another man was severely injured in the shooting Sunday afternoon near the intersection of 38th Street and Chicago Avenue.
The city's ShotSpotter system alerted city police to the shooting about 12:50 p.m. near the intersection where Floyd died two years ago. Police found one man lying near the intersection. Another had run south into an alley and collapsed.
Despite lifesaving efforts by police, firefighters and medics, Rodgers died about 30 minutes later at HCMC. Police said the other man had "potentially life-threatening gunshot wounds."
