Man charged with attempted murder after shooting at 5 people, including a small child: Police

High Point police said 19-year-old Jahdon Crafton shot at five people, including a small child.

HIGH POINT, N.C. — High Point police arrested a man Friday accused of shooting at five people, including a small child.

Police charged 19-year-old Jahdon Crafton from Greensboro with attempted murder.

Officers responded to calls of shots fired in the 200 block of Brentwood Street. During its investigation, Crafton emerged as a suspect, according to police.

Family members of one of the victims told police that Crafton bragged about the shooting on Facebook Live. Investigators said while watching Facebook Live an officer recognized where the suspect was and then they were able to arrest him.

While no one was injured, 19-year-old Jahdon Crafton was charged with five counts of attempted murder. His girlfriend, Brooklyn Banks, said she was one of the people he fired at. Banks said she is still trying to process it all.

"It surprised me because when you feel like somebody loved you, and you feel like somebody loved your child, you would never think that they would try to hurt you, hurt your two-year-old," Banks said. "I closed the windows, I closed the blinds, then I stopped hearing kicks at the door, I stopped hearing banging at the door, I guess he went down the stairs and walked around the building, and then I started hearing more shots."

Officers found where Crafton was and formed a perimeter around the area. Police said he tried to flee the scene but was quickly detained by officers. 

Crafton faces five counts of attempted murder. He's being held without bond at the Guilford County jail, according to the police department.
