The Nov. 29 shooting occurred at the corner of Charles Street and North Street and left a 22-year-old Middletown man in critical condition, police said.
When officers were called to the area around 2:30 a.m., they found Thomas Wilkerson had been shot multiple times. He was transported to Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton.
Middletown police have arrested and charged others in the shooting.
Davante Whitaker, 21, Middletown, was charged with two counts of felonious assault, having weapons under a disability, carrying a concealed weapon, and possessing a firearm in a liquor establishment in the shooting outside of Bar Boca.
The bar opened in mid-November after the previous bar, Miller’s Lounge, was closed because it became a nuisance.
One neighbor, who was asleep at the time, said he heard 30 shots fired.
Ronnie Perkins, who lives on Charles Street, showed police officers a copy of his surveillance camera footage that shows several people gathering at the corner of Charles and North. There appears to be a fight in the street, then several rounds are fired.
After watching the video several times, Perkins said after the street disturbance “all hell broke loose.”
He said if there continues to be trouble outside the bar, he will lead a charge to get it closed.
“We don’t need that around here,” he said.
