Mobile Police have a suspect in custody after a shooting left a six-year-old child wounded.

Mobile Police confirm the shooting took place around 8:45 p.m Monday on the 900 block of South Scott Street.

The six-year-old girl was transported to a nearby medical facility. Police say she was struck in the arm. Her current condition has not been reported by officials.

According to police, witnesses detailed a dispute between two males that escalated into the hail of gunfire. Police say that several bullets entered the home where the child was present, as she occupied the living room.

Tuesday afternoon, officers announced they had arrested 23-year-old Eric Blackledge, Jr., in association with the crime. It is presumed that Blackledge will be charged with first-degree assault, although his booking information has not been confirmed.

Mobile Metro Jail records show that Eric Blackledge, Sr., was arrested Tuesday, as well. However, police have confirmed that the elder Blackledge's arrest bears no connection to the investigation of the shooting, as he was arrested for unrelated warrants.
