A 19-year-old from Carnegie is being held without bail in the Butler County Prison after Butler City police released charging-document details on Monday, November 9, identifying him as the alleged gunman in a drive-by shooting on West North Street last Thursday that wounded a man and grazed a juvenile girl.

The shooting happened last Thursday, November 5, at around 6:45 p.m. in the 400 block of West North Street in Butler, Pennsylvania. WPXI reported that night that two people were shot at an apartment building on West North Street, in an incident that left neighbours frustrated with violence in the area. Both victims are recovering well, police said in the details released Monday.

A fight, then shots from a passing car, charging documents say

According to the charging documents described by police, a fight broke out between five juveniles and another man. Police say the juveniles began losing the fight and went back to a black Ford sedan. They allegedly drove by the house, and one man fired shots from the car.

The bullets hit the man involved in the fight and a juvenile girl. The man was shot in the leg and taken to a Pittsburgh hospital. The girl was grazed by a bullet and went to Butler Memorial Hospital. Both are recovering well, according to police.

Surveillance video and witnesses led police to a suspect

Investigators were able to use video surveillance and talked with witnesses to identify the car and a suspect, 19-year-old Khamrin Paige of Carnegie, police said. Carnegie is a borough in Allegheny County, on the other side of Pittsburgh from Butler — the identification took the investigation out of Butler County and into the Pittsburgh area.

Police in Monroeville spotted the sedan on Friday night and took Paige into custody. He was transferred to the Butler County Prison and denied bail, police said.

Allegations, and more arrests expected

Police say Paige was the one who fired the gun in the Thursday-night shooting. That is the police allegation set out in the charging documents, not a conviction, and Paige is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court. City Police also say there are more arrests coming in the case.

A residential street, two people hit

West North Street is a residential street in Butler, the county seat of Butler County, north of Pittsburgh. The shooting grew out of a street fight involving juveniles, according to the charging documents, and ended with shots fired from a moving car at a house — a sequence that put not only the man in the fight in a Pittsburgh hospital with a leg wound, but also a juvenile girl, who was grazed, in Butler Memorial Hospital.

What happens next

Paige remains in the Butler County Prison after being denied bail, and his case will move through the Butler County courts. City Police say more arrests are coming, which means the group described in the charging documents — the five juveniles who went back to the black Ford sedan — remains an active part of the investigation. Police have not announced a court date in the details released so far, and Awaaz Punjab will report the additional arrests and the first court proceedings as officials release them.
