A man accused of firing several shots earlier this week at a home in the 500 block of Detroit Avenue was arrested about 3:35 p.m. Wednesday at the East Lucius Avenue home of his grandmother.

Braylon Paige, 19, is in the Mahoning County jail on felony charges of improper discharge of a firearm at or into a habitation.

Reports said Paige was arrested in an incident about 8:35 p.m. Tuesday, when officers were called to the South Side street to check a gunfire-sensor activation. Police found several people in a vehicle who said a group of people at Gibson and Detroit avenues fired several shots at their car.

Several bullet holes were in the car, and police found five shell casings at a home on the street, as if people at the home were shooting back at people on the corner, reports said.

In a related call about the same time, police found 13 9 mm shell casings nearby, and officers also responded to the same block Monday for gunfire after a group of people were arguing.

No one was injured in any of the calls.
