A Mahoning County grand jury indicted a man accused of shooting a bystander in the head during a fight on the South Side late last year.

Kshaun Weaver, 19, of Oak Street, was indicted on two counts of felonious assault and illegal possession of a firearm in the shooting of 22-year-old Kenneth Woods Jr. He is in the county jail on a combined $185,000 bond.

The shooting for which Weaver was charged occurred Nov. 28 on East Lucius Avenue near Erie Street. Police were called at 3:30 p.m. in response to reports of gunshots, a large fight and several wrecked cars.
