Two suspects have been arrested in connection with a shooting at Toledo’s Old West End Festival on June 6 that injured 12 people. Ka Nye Taylor, 20, was arrested Wednesday in Columbus, while Eljay Crisp-Carr, 20, was taken into custody on June 11. Both face 11 counts of felonious assault.
The shooting occurred during a dispute between two individuals, with gunfire erupting into the festival crowd. One victim required surgery after being hit in the head, and all 12 injured have since been released from the hospital. Police used video evidence, witness statements, and NORIS data to identify the suspects.
Governor Mike DeWine (R-OH) condemned the violence, stating, 'Summer festivals should be safe spaces for families to spend time together without fear of violence.' The investigation remains ongoing.
