Adarryl Trevon Wilson, of Miami, was arrested after the shooting and taken to the Juvenile Assessment Center, but he was transferred Thursday to Miami’s Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where he is being held without bond.

According to his arrest report, Wilson was seen wearing a red hoodie and black mask when he allegedly approached a group of people who were fighting and fired into the crowd.

Police said one of the victims shot back, injuring Wilson.

According to the arrest report, Wilson showed up at Jackson South Medical Center and was treated for his injuries.
