Police and the prosecutor are asking for the public's help in locating more than a dozen individuals allegedly involved in a shooting that injured one person at Edgewater Park last weekend. Photos of three of the suspects were shared with the public on Thursday afternoon, and 12 more photos were released on Friday.

The surveillance footage and pictures are believed to be a critical part of the police investigation.

New surveillance video showed several groups hanging out at the pavilion at Edgewater Park on Saturday night. Within seconds, you see at least three dozen people run and duck for cover. Then, at least two unidentified men are seen pulling out guns and firing back.

"There were approximately 16 individuals who brandished weapons and several of them also discharged their firearms," Cleveland Metroparks Police and the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor said in a joint statement.

An 18-year-old man was injured in the shooting.

A 17-year-old boy was arrested at the scene and has been charged with felonious assault, discharging a firearm in a prohibited place, carrying a concealed weapon, having weapons under disability and receiving stolen property, police said.

The others allegedly involved are still at large, police said.
