Police have identified a suspect and are seeking a second shooter in connection with a shooting at Toledo's Old West End Festival that injured 12 people. Ka Nye Taylor, 20, was named as the primary suspect wanted on 11 counts of felonious assault. Authorities released a photo of the second suspected gunman and asked the public for help in locating both individuals.

The shooting occurred during a dispute between two rival groups at the festival, according to reports from NBC News. The victims ranged in age from 14 to 61, with most being innocent bystanders. As reported by CBS News, nine of the twelve injured have been released from hospitals, while three remain hospitalized but are expected to recover.

The incident took place near Delaware Avenue and Glenwood Avenue around 5:30 p.m. on Saturday. Police described Taylor as a Black male standing approximately 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing about 130 pounds.
