Ohio police reveal the identity of one suspect and ask for help in identifying a “second shooter” in connection with a shooting that took place between two rival groups that left 12 people wounded during a crowded neighborhood festival over the weekend. The
The Toledo Police Department released a photo and description of 20-year-old Ka Nye Taylor, who is wanted on 11 counts of felonious assault.
Authorities released a photo of a male dressed in all black of the alleged second shooter, whose name authorities have asked the public to help identify.
The shooting erupted after someone was tackled and assaulted at the festival, leading one person to open fire and a second to respond with more gunshots, Toledo Police Chief Michael Troendle said at a news conference Tuesday.
Three of the 12 people shot were involved in the altercation, authorities said, while the rest were bystanders. The wounded ranged in age from teenagers to one person in their 60s. All but three had been released from the hospital by Tuesday.
Phone numbers for Taylor or his family members were not immediately available or found in online directories.
The police chief and other city officials praised officers and good Samaritans who quickly helped the victims.
“We saw strangers who were shocked and frightened by the violence they just saw, they jumped into action,” said Chief of Fire and Rescue Allison Armstrong. “They helped others by placing tourniquets, dressing wounds, applying pressure and comforting those victims until additional help could arrive.”
Half the victims arrived at hospitals with tourniquets applied by either police or bystanders, Armstrong said.
Hundreds of people were at the Old West End Festival, an annual two-day celebration in Toledo’s historic district that covers several city blocks and features live music, vendors and home tours. Toledo is located in northwest Ohio near the western edge of Lake Erie, about 55 miles (90 kilometers) southwest of Detroit.
The remainder of the festival was canceled Sunday. Organizers said it would not have been "compassionate, responsible or possible” to continue through the weekend.
