UNIONTOWN, Ohio — The U.S. Marshals arrested two men in Uniontown on Wednesday morning in connection with a shooting that happened in Franklin County.
Officials say that 24-year-old Santiago Miguel Ramirez Ogando and 24-year-old Juan Carlos Rivera were wanted by the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office and the United States Marshals Service for complicity to commit murder and felonious assault.
Members of the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Taskforce arrested the duo at a hotel in the 1600 block of Corporate Woods Parkway in Uniontown. Both men were taken to the Summit County Jail and are awaiting extradition back to Franklin County.
In addition, officials say that Ogando will likely face additional charges as he is an "undocumented non-citizen."
The men were allegedly involved in a shooting incident that happened on Aug. 8 near an auto body shop in the 4000 block of Broad Street in Franklin Township.
“The partnership between the US Marshals Service in the Northern District and the Southern District of Ohio is strong. These fugitives thought they could commit violent offenses in southern Ohio and flee to northern Ohio. Decisive and collaborative efforts led to these arrests and will prevent them from potentially harming anyone else in Ohio," said U.S. Marshal Pete Elliott.
