CINCINNATI — A 21-year-old is charged with felonious assault after police said he shot a man in the DORA area of The Banks late Sunday night.

According to a police report, Devonte Thompson shot a man in the left leg at around 11:30 p.m. following an argument. He attempted to run away from the scene, but officers arrested Thompson after chasing him into a parking garage at 3rd and Walnut.

Alex Smith, who lives in an apartment building next to Great American Ball Park, said he looked outside after hearing two gunshots while in bed.

"I walk over to my balcony and I see this guy running," Smith said. "And then I come downstairs and I see a guy who was shot directly behind me, and I actually watched the cops chase the guy into the parking garage."

Police said the man shot was taken to UC Medical Center and is expected to be OK.

The police report said Thompson was intoxicated and had heroin on him at the time of the shooting. In addition to felonious assault, he has been charged with using a weapon while intoxicated and drug abuse.
