ELYRIA — Two teen males were shot in or near the Toy Box Nightclub in downtown Elyria overnight, according to Elyria police.

Officers were called to the Toy Box, 581 Broad St., a little after 2 a.m. for a report of shots fired and “people running everywhere.”

According to Elyria police Capt. Dan Jaykel, two people were shot, both in their legs.

Robert Beane, 19, of Lorain, was taken to EMH Regional Medical Center, where he was treated and released, according to a hospital spokeswoman.

Marlon Capers, 17, was grazed by a bullet and was taken to Community Health Partners in Lorain, Jaykel said. His condition was not immediately available.

According to a police report, an officer was in the area of Sports Bar and Toy Box on Broad Street and heard “numerous gunshots being rapidly fired from the area.”

The “officer observed large amounts of unknown subjects running from the area in several directions,” the report said.

Also according to the report, “There were numerous vehicles fleeing the area at high rates of speed in several directions.”

Police stopped a red pickup truck that was taking Beane to the hospital. The vehicle, driven by Kereem Tucker, 24, of Lorain, was found to contain crack cocaine, Jaykel said. He also said another passenger, Matthew Bell, 24, of Elyria, was arrested on a weapons charge after a handgun fell from his pants. Jaykel said it wasn’t clear whether these individuals were involved in the shooting.

Officers also arrested Marquise Hollis on a warrant out of the Sandusky Police Department.

According to the report, officers pounded on the door to the Toy Box for several minutes before being allowed into the locked door and found the staff had swept and washed the floor and cleaned the bathroom down. The staff claimed to have no knowledge of the shooting.

Hollis was taken to the Elyria City Jail to be picked up by Sandusky.
