A 23-year-old man has been charged in connection with a shooting last month that injured a person in the 100 block of East 19th Street.

Witnesses told police Jonathan Conyers was the man who shot 29-year-old Demontez Russell on Aug. 30.

Just before 1 a.m. that day, an officer was in the area when she heard shots being fired.

Moments later, she found Russell, who had a gunshot wound to his shoulder. The officer immediately rendered aid and called for help.

Russell was taken to a local hospital, was listed in critical condition and, as a result, could not immediately speak to investigators, court records show.
