September 29, 2023 – A 17-year-old was arrested a short time ago for his involvement in the September 11 shooting on 26th Avenue North in the Cumberland View neighborhood where two children were hit by an exchange of gunfire as they got off the school bus.
Sylvester Buford, 22, turned himself in Wednesday morning on three outstanding warrants related to the incident.
The teen, who was on foot near Buford during the shootout with those inside a white Honda Accord, is believed to be responsible for the shots that grazed the 6-year-old victim.
He was arrested at his home in Cumberland View and charged in juvenile court with aggravated assault, two counts of reckless endangerment and two counts of juvenile weapon possession.
A 16-year-old victim was also injured by a round to his right shoulder, believed to be from Buford’s gunfire.
