Ohio Festival Shooting: Second Suspect Nabbed
12 Jun
Summary
- Second suspect arrested in weekend street festival shooting.
- 12 people injured in gunfire at Toledo's Old West End Festival.
- Suspect identified via video, social media, and witness statements.
Police have apprehended Eljay Crisp-Carr, a 20-year-old, as the second individual sought in connection with a shooting that injured 12 people at Toledo's Old West End Festival last weekend. Crisp-Carr was arrested on Thursday and charged with 11 counts of felonious assault.
The incident occurred on Saturday when gunfire broke out between rival groups during the festival, which was taking place in a park filled with tents, music, and food trucks. The two individuals reportedly shooting at each other were not among the injured.
A detective's complaint detailed video evidence showing Crisp-Carr involved in the altercation. After another man initiated shooting, Crisp-Carr moved away before turning and firing into the crowd indiscriminately. Authorities used witness statements, social media, and law enforcement photos to identify him.
An arrest warrant has been issued for the other suspect, Ka Nye Taylor, who has not yet been apprehended. Hundreds of attendees were present at the annual event in Toledo's historic district. The festival's second day was canceled due to the violence, which caused panic and swift action from bystanders and first responders who provided aid until further help arrived.
