{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}- Jaylon Jennings, a 25-year-old man from Lorain, Ohio, has been arrested in connection with a shooting in downtown Cleveland that wounded nine people.
- Ohio authorities seized evidence from Jenning's home; however, the motive for the attack remains unclear.
- Seven men and two women were injured in the shooting, but only one man's wounds were serious.
Authorities seized evidence from the home of a man charged in a downtown Cleveland mass shooting over the weekend that wounded nine people, though the motive for the attack remained unclear Wednesday.
Federal marshals and city police arrested Jaylon Jennings, 25, of Lorain, without incident at a home in that Cleveland suburb at around 3:45 p.m. Tuesday. A search warrant was then executed at Jennings' home and items were seized, but authorities didn't disclose further details.
Jennings is due to make an initial court appearance Thursday in Cleveland Municipal Court, and it wasn't clear Wednesday if he had retained a lawyer. He's charged with attempted murder, and additional charges are expected.

Police allege in an arrest warrant filed Tuesday that the shooting occurred after Jennings saw several people inside one of the bars and retrieved a firearm from the trunk of his vehicle in a parking lot across the street. He then fired into the crowd despite police officers being nearby, according to authorities.
Authorities said Tuesday that they were still searching for the gun and were trying to determine the motive for the shooting and whether anyone else was involved.

Mayor Justin Bibb said the suspect was arrested 61 hours after the shooting as a result of video evidence and other information obtained by police. He also cited cooperation among law enforcement and a $50,000 reward posted by Cleveland business and restaurant owner Bobby George.
