Johnson was released early Tuesday after posting a $25,000 bond.

Two other teenagers, ages 17 and 16, were also detained, according to Criswell.

According to an affidavit, Johnson told police he and Graham were driving on the city's south side when he heard a gunshot and "observed a group of people walking in the street."

He and Graham then left their vehicle and began firing guns, Johnson reportedly said.

A city police officer wrote that Johnson and Graham "were driving through the area when they encountered the subjects that were on foot."

The Muncie men "could have driven away from the situation due to being in an already moving vehicle but the vehicle was parked, they exited, and began shooting," the officer concluded.

Criswell asked that anyone with information on Monday's events to call the Muncie Police Department's detective division at 765-747-4867.
