CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A Cleveland man is accused of shooting his cousin before she drove with him to a hospital, police said.

Marquise Spraggins, 25, is charged with felonious assault in the Tuesday shooting that wounded his 25-year-old cousin, according to court records.

His first appearance in Cleveland Municipal Court has not been scheduled.

Investigators have not offered a motive for the shooting that happened just before 1:45 a.m. on West 117th Street near Bellaire Road.

Spraggins' 25-year-old cousin told a Gas USA clerk that he shot her, police said. She asked the clerk to call 911 before she got into her car and drove herself and Spraggins to Fairview Hospital.

Investigators did not provide the cousin's condition.

Officers arrested Spraggins in his cousin's car outside the hospital. They recovered a gun from the car, police said.
