Here are the top stories today in Cincinnati:

1. An outside review of Cincinnati's 911 call system that was spurred by a teenager's death three years ago found many improvements have been made, but management and morale remain problems that continue to hurt employee retention. The report was part of a $6 million wrongful death lawsuit settlement reached in April by the city and the family of 16-year-old Kyle Plush, who died in April 2018. (The Courier)
2. Cincinnati Police have released surveillance footage they say captures the driver responsible for a hit-and-run in the West End. Mical Landrum was riding his motorcycle Sept. 27 when a driver knocked him into the intersection of Ezzard Charles Drive and Winchell Avenue before running away from the scene. The 35-year-old is still fighting for his life as police search for the driver. (WCPO)
3. Six Cincinnati startups among finalists for 2021 FinTech Frontier pitch competition. The companies will compete Oct. 28 for $75,000 in cash prizes. (Cincinnati Business Courier)
4. Walnut Hills High School was on lockdown for 30 minutes on Thursday, Oct. 21 after two males were shot in a nearby neighborhood. (WCPO)
