Detectives arrested Braylen Robinson after searching for him following a police chase Wednesday. Officers say Robinson's crime spree started Tuesday night when he killed a woman and injured four others at an apartment building. The shooting happened in the 1000 block of Cleveland Street around 10:30 p.m. and claimed the life of 31-year-old Kiambria Young.
On Wednesday, police said Robinson shot into a car containing a woman, a man, and a child, hitting the man. The woman who was driving tried to take the man to the hospital but crashed, causing her vehicle and another one to overturn.
