Only Local 12 News cameras are there as a teenage shooting suspect is brought in for questioning. Police were looking for Dan Abuonji earlier on Thursday and they found him at his home. 

The teen is accused of shooting a store clerk in the leg in Fairview ... and firing at two people standing nearby. Local 12 News reporter Angenette Levy says members of Cincinnati Police's Violent Crimes Squad tracked down Abuonji at his home. Police are trying to figure out why the teenager decided to start shooting outside of the Ravine Street Market.

 Only Local 12 news cameras captured police bringing in shooting suspect Abuonji for questioning shortly after his arrest. Hours earlier... Police had identified the teen as their suspect in the Friday night shooting. Sgt. Mark Kelley of Cincinnati Police says, "Not only is he walking around with a gun apparently, he's not afraid to fire shots at the person he's mad at and whoever's standing by him." 

A little before midnight last Friday ... surveillance cameras captured a shirtless Abuonji walking into the store. The clerk refused to serve him as the store's policy states: no shirts, so shoes, so service. The video shows the clerk walking the teenager outside. "At one point he made a statement that I'm going to come back and when I come back I'm going to shoot you. He fired one shot at the teller then fired a couple of other shots at some other folks that were standing outside also." 

The clerk had called police to report the threats.. but Abuonji had returned before officers arrived. The arrest brought relief to the clerk's family and to police. Meron Tadele is the victim's cousin and says, "My cousin is really nice with everybody. And, why would somebody do that? I'm happy he got caught. That's my cousin. I love him to death." 

Adds Sgt. Kelley, "This is a good thing. Someone who would fire shots at people who would fire shots at people he had an argument with and those who are just standing around, they need to be taken off the street and we were able to do that today." 

Abuonji faces three counts of felonious assault. Police planned to hold him in juvenile detention.
