· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Ohio police are searching for a 20-year-old suspect and a 'second shooter' in connection with a shooting that occurred Saturday during a neighborhood festival in Toledo, injuring 12 people. Ka Nye Taylor is wanted on 11 counts of felonious assault related to the shooting at the Old West End Festival, according to the Toledo Police Department's report on Wednesday. The department added that the suspect was identified after conducting interviews and following various investigative leads. Taylor is described as a Black male, 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing 130 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Investigators have also received 'photographs of a second shooter' and are asking the public for assistance in identifying him. Both Crime Stoppers and the U.S. Marshals Service are offering rewards of $10,000 and $5,000, respectively, for information leading to their arrests. The mass shooting on Saturday left 12 injured and stemmed from 'a dispute between two rival groups,' police reported on Tuesday. The oldest victim is 61 years old and the youngest is 14, according to Lieutenant Dan Gerken. He added that most of the affected individuals are in their 20s. 'While investigators believe some of the victims were targeted, most of the injured appear to have been innocent bystanders caught in this senseless act of violence,' said Toledo Police Chief Michael Troendle on Tuesday. Police estimate that three of the victims were involved in the dispute between the groups, while the other nine were caught in the crossfire. All victims are expected to survive; nine have already been discharged from the hospital. Troendle stated on Tuesday that authorities 'are still trying to piece together' how the shooting unfolded on Saturday night.
