AKRON, Ohio — Two teens are in custody following an investigation into a shooting that happened at the Spring Hill Apartments complex earlier this month, where a bullet grazed a woman.

According to police, 18-year-old Tra'Miere Walker is charged with felonious assault, inducing panic and carrying a concealed weapon. A 16-year-old boy was charged with felonious assault on Sept. 11.

The shooting happened just after 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 5 in the 1200 block of Everton Drive.

Police say two groups of people in the parking lot of the complex opened fire on each other. A bullet struck an 18-year-old woman in the arm, and other bullets hit multiple cars.

Police released surveillance video that shows people firing shots after getting out of a dark-colored vehicle, according to Captain Michael Miller.

"That scene was very hectic— as you can imagine— middle of the day, heavily populated residential apartment complex with a of people outside, including children," Miller said.

Apartment resident Mila Shropshire said two or three bullets went through her window and narrowly missed her three-year-old daughter who was jumping on a bed.

"It's a blessing that me and my child are still here, so I'm gonna count my blessings," Shropshire said. "I would have been devastated if something would have hit her."

Authorities say that two other individuals, ages 18 and 16, have been identified in connection with the shooting, and investigators are looking for them.
