Court docs: Avondale man charged in connection with Dave & Buster's shooting

A suspect has been arrested and charged in connection with a shooting that happened outside the Dave & Buster's in Springdale earlier this week. 

John Perez, 24, of Avondale, is charged with felonious assault after he allegedly shot a man outside the Dave & Buster's at 11775 Commons Dr. in Springdale, according to an affidavit filed in Hamilton County Municipal Court on Wednesday. 

On Monday night, Springdale Police officers responded to a fight at the popular arcade with assistance from several neighboring agencies.

Dispatch notified responding units that some of the individuals involved in the fight were possibly armed with a stun gun and a firearm. 

Once on scene, police found a 37-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound near Dave & Buster's. He was taken to  Bethesda North Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries

At some point during the fight Perez ran to a vehicle and retrieved a firearm, documents say. He allegedly fired a single shot which struck the victim in the upper back. 

Perez was identified by an eyewitness and the firearm was recovered from the vehicle he used to flee the scene, according to the affidavit. 

He was booked into the Hamilton County Justice Center on Thursday afternoon, according to jail records. A court date has yet to be scheduled.
