    One of the 14 people injured during a shootout in Oakland , California, last month has been charged as one of the gunmen .

    JaJuan Kelly, 23, was charged with four counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm.

    Kelly is one of four suspected shooters identified in court documents. The charges against the California resident come after a June 19 shooting that injured 14 people. Kelly was among those injured. According to court records, law enforcement found the suspected shooter with a loaded gun.

    The shootout happened after a Juneteenth celebration last month. Thousands attended the event, which, although peaceful, was not authorized by the police. As the celebration came to a close on the evening of the 19th, a sideshow involving at least 20 vehicles, including dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles, took over the intersection of Grand and Bellevue avenues. Chaos ensued as two rival groups became violent and a fight broke out between numerous people.

    Investigators have yet to identify all the gunmen involved in the conflict.
