Officials said the shooting was thought to have stemmed from a dispute between two groups; authorities believe the five shooting victims were not the intended targets.

Baltimore Police on Friday announced the arrest of one teen and an arrest warrant for a second teen in connection with the Oct. 3 shooting on Morgan State University’s campus that wounded five young people.
A 17-year-old was arrested Thursday in Washington, D.C., “without incident” and will be charged with multiple counts of attempted murder, according to a police news release.
The second teen, Jovan Williams, who is 18, is wanted on a warrant accusing him of multiple counts of attempted murder in connection with the shooting. Police say he is considered “armed and dangerous,” and ask anyone who comes in contact with him to call 911.
Williams has been wanted by local and federal authorities in D.C., where he lives, since July. At that time, he was federally indicted in connection to what the Washington Metropolitan Police Department described as a “violent drug trafficking organization.”
In addition to drug dealing, the federal indictment accused Williams, also known by aliases “Chewy” and Choo,” of carrying an “AR-style .223 caliber pistol” equipped with a device that allowed the gun to shoot automatically, rather than one round for each trigger pull. The indictment said the privately manufactured gun, more commonly referred to as a “ghost gun,” qualified as a machine gun under federal law.
