LOUISVILLE (WHAS11) -- LMPD has made an arrest in a late night shooting that happened on the Great Lawn near the Skystar Observation wheel.

Keion Deshawn Page, 19, faces charges of receiving stolen property and evading police.

Officers responded to multiple calls of shots fired near the observation wheel Thursday night. Police reported one male, 19, was grazed by a bullet. His injuries are non-life threatening, and no one else was hurt.

According to reports, when officers arrived on the scene, they observed the suspect emerge from the trees near the open field west of the wheel.

That's when officers said the suspect ran, initiating a pursuit on foot.

Once in custody, the suspect is reported to have said he was fired at and then shot back.

The gun suspected of being used in the shooting, along with the suspect's sweatshirt, was discovered in the treeline. Police said the gun was confirmed to have been stolen from a pawn shop in Shepherdsville.

LMPD said they believe the incident was gang-related.
