WILMINGTON, Ohio — A 15-year-old wanted in connection to a double shooting that injured two juveniles Monday night is in custody, Wilmington police announced.

Police asked for the public's help in locating a teen they said is a suspect in a shooting at the Wilmington Green Apartments. Officers were dispatched to S. South Street near Randolph Street at around 10:30 p.m. Monday for the report of a possible shooting. When they arrived, they found three juveniles in a car — two of whom had been shot.

One juvenile was taken to Clinton Memorial Hospital while another was airlifted to Miami Valley Hospital.

WCPO removed the teen's name and photo because he has not been charged as an adult and is no longer wanted by law enforcement.
