According to BRPD, 20-year-old Jaquan Johnson was booked on charges of attempted second degree murder, illegal use of a weapon and carrying of a firearm by a convicted felon after he was identified by victims last Thursday.

The shooting happened in the 650 block of North Ardenwood Drive at around 6 p.m. on Apr. 8. Police said they responded to the scene to find a woman had been shot in the arm.
