The Montgomery County Prosecutor’s Office had approved two counts of felonious assault against Mitchell and issued an arrest warrant.
According to Miami Twp. police, Mitchell, 17, and the 18-year-old man engaged in a fist fight in the parking lot of the complex about 1 a.m. Feb. 21.
During the fight, Mitchell is accused of pulling out what police believe was a semi-automatic handgun and firing it at the 18-year-old, who was hit in his arm.
Friends took him to a hospital for a wound that was not life threatening.
The juvenile division of the prosecutor’s office said the case will be reviewed further to determine whether Mitchell should be prosecuted as an adult.
“With this case you have a demonstrated instance of gun violence, so there’s an urgency to get this person in custody and locked up. We’re happy to have him off the streets,” said DiPietro.
Anyone with additional information about this case is asked to call Miami Twp. police at (937) 434-TIPS (8477).
