CINCINNATI — Cincinnati police have arrested a man accused of shooting and wounding two teens in Kennedy Heights on October 29.

CPD said 24-year-old Marcus Crooms has been arrested and charged with three counts of felonious assault.

Police said two 16-year-old boys were shot that day.

Capt. Dennis Swingley said a 911 call came in just before 5 p.m. reporting suspects in a vehicle shooting at people near Kirkup Avenue. When officers arrived, they found one teen shot outside a home on Kirkup Avenue.

Swingley said the teen was taken to UC Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.

Officers then located another teen, who was shot and ran nearby to Odin Avenue. Swingley said that teen was taken to Cincinnati Children's with "critical" injuries but is believed to be stable.

Police believe the suspects were four individuals inside a white Chevy Spark that was spotted driving away from the scene. Swingley did not provide a license plate number for the car but asked that anyone who has any information on the shooting or the suspects call CrimeStoppers at 513-352-3040.
