An arrest has been made in a spring shooting in the city.

District Attorney Jason Schmidt and Jamestown Police Department have jointly announced that a secret indictment authorized by the Chautauqua County Grand Jury was unsealed this week charging 19-year-old Jamestown resident Marquan Cunningham-Carper with first-degree assault and two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon from the May 8 shooting in the city of Jamestown.

A male, whose name or age was not released, was shot around 12:30 a.m. in the area of North Hopkins Avenue and East Second Street.

In late May city police issued a photo captured from a video recording, seeking the public’s help. At the time of the news release, police said the victim had been released from the hospital and was expected to recover from his injuries.

At his arraignment Tuesday, Cunningham-Carper entered a plea of not guilty and County Court Judge David W. Foley set bail at $1 million cash or, in the alternative, a $2 million property bond or $2 million partially secured by the posting of 10%.

Following the arraignment, Schmidt stated, “Every single shooting incident and illegal possession and use of a gun in our community hurts us all. This instance – the indiscriminate shooting in the backside of a young man who was merely walking home after shopping at a nearby store – says it all about where we stand as a community and the police’s ongoing fight, in which they are outgunned and outnumbered, to keep us safe and rid our streets of violent offenders. Today’s unsealing of the indictment against Mr. Cunningham-Carper is just the first step in the litigation which lies ahead for us. From the moment of the first 9-1-1 call received by Jamestown Police, its investigators along with ours at the DA’s Office have worked diligently to develop evidence identifying the shooter and allowing us to move forward with this prosecution. We elected to bring our investigation into the Grand Jury due to the seriousness of the crimes committed here and our concerns for public safety, but the investigation still continues and we anticipate developing further evidence enhancing the case,”

Cunningham-Carper faces a maximum prison term of 25 years followed by 5 years of parole supervision. He will return to court on July 21.

“I urge anyone with information concerning the shooting to contact Jamestown Police or my office,” Schmidt said.
