On Saturday, investigators issued an arrest warrant for 24-year-old Kevin Raul Del Valle-Salaman. Del Valle-Salaman was taken into custody by Lorain police on Saturday and is currently being held at the Cuyahoga County Jail. 

According to Cleveland Municipal Court, Del Valle-Salaman is facing nine counts of complicity charges. 

According to the arrest warrant, Del Valle-Salaman was driving the 2023 black Kia Sportage that transported the primary offender Jaylon Jennings.

Jennings and Del Valle-Salaman, as well as another third unknown male, allegedly entered Rumor Bar and Lounge, before returning to the black Kia Sportage in a parking lot near West 4th Street, where Jennings got the firearm used in the shooting.
