A NEIGHBORHOOD LEFT SHAKEN

DEVELOPING STORY
Elyria – One man is behind bars and a neighborhood has been left shaken to the core after witnessing a shooting – right before their eyes.

Police say that 19-year-old Jarell Davis of Elyria, attempted to abduct a 20-year-old woman and her baby while he was in an altercation with another man on Foster Ave. While threatening to shoot the woman if she did not obey his demands, the other man fled the area. Davis is said to have followed firing just under a half dozen shots in the busy neighborhood.

Police Officers, both uniformed and plain clothes swarmed the area almost immediately after the calls started pouring into 9-1-1.

As Officers searched back yards and open structures near where Davis was last seen, Paramedics and Firefighters arrived in search of a gunshot victim. Although the man had fired several times, nobody was hit.

A further search of the neighborhood Officers discovered clothes that Davis had discarded and also the weapon used. The small caliber handgun was found in the back yard of a Taft Ave home just under a wooden fence.
