Police arrest 20-year-old suspect for Ohio shooting that left 12 wounded The victims of the shooting ranged from teenagers to a person in their 60s - Bookmark Police have arrested 20-year-old Eljay Crisp-Carr as the second suspect in a shooting that left 12 people injured at an Ohio neighborhood street festival last weekend. Crisp-Carr was taken into custody on Thursday and charged with 11 counts of felonious assault. Police said gunfire broke out on Saturday between rival groups during the Old West End Festival in Toledo at a park filled with tents, music and food trucks. The two people shooting at each other were not among those wounded. Court documents do not list an attorney for him and no one answered a call to a phone number associated with him Friday morning. In a criminal complaint filed in Toledo Municipal Court, a detective described video showing Crisp-Carr participating in the fight. After another man started shooting, Crisp-Carr moved away from the group but then turned and opened fire, the detective wrote. He was seen firing indiscriminately into the crowd, the detective wrote. The detective said she used witness statements, social media and law enforcement photos to identify Crisp-Carr. Authorities have issued an arrest warrant for the other suspect, Ka Nye Taylor, but he hasn't been caught. Hundreds of people were attending the annual festival in a historic district of Toledo, a city on the western edge of Lake Erie about 55 miles (90 kilometers) southwest of Detroit. Organizers canceled the event’s second day because of the shooting. The violence sent terrified bystanders fleeing, while others rushed to help the injured alongside medics and police. The victims ranged from teenagers to a person in their 60s. At a news conference on Tuesday, the police chief and other city officials praised officers and good Samaritans who quickly offered help to 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.”
