Summary
Eljay Crisp-Carr, 20, was arrested Thursday and charged with 11 counts of felonious assault in the June 6 Toledo festival shooting that injured 12 people.
Court records say investigators used video, witness statements, social media and law-enforcement photos to identify him after he allegedly joined a fight, then turned and fired into the crowd.
Police still have not captured second suspect Ka Nye Taylor, for whom an arrest warrant had already been issued in the same case.
The gunfire erupted during the Old West End festival after a clash between rival groups, prompting organizers to cancel the event's second day as victims from their teens to their 60s were treated.
The Toledo attack is among more than 180 U.S. mass shootings recorded this year by the Gun Violence Archive, underscoring the country's persistent gun-violence debate.
