STEUBENVILLE, Ohio — Two Steubenville residents are facing felony charges after a shooting investigation stemming from an incident that occurred in the city in May.
A Jefferson County grand jury has indicted 24-year-old Deonbre Kenneth Bailey-Anderson and 21-year-old Nathaniel Wise on charges of felonious assault and having weapons while under disability.
According to investigators, the shooting occurred on May 12 in the 100 block of Hollywood Boulevard. Police said the incident followed a dispute involving several individuals who were acquainted with one another.
Authorities allege gunfire was exchanged as the two men traveled in opposite directions along the roadway. During the incident, a third individual suffered a gunshot wound. Investigators said the injured man told officers he did not witness the circumstances leading up to the shooting.
Prosecutors allege both defendants were legally prohibited from possessing firearms because of prior court proceedings.
Court records show Bailey-Anderson was convicted of a drug possession offense in Jefferson County in 2021. Records also indicate Wise was previously adjudicated delinquent in Juvenile Court on a felonious assault case in 2023.
The case will proceed through the Jefferson County court system.
All defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.
