Warren County Sheriff Barry Riley said a vehicle approached both of the women’s cars at the intersection and shot them, then drove off.
“We do not believe this was a random act of violence,” Riley said. “There were witnesses in the area that stopped to render aid to these ladies, and we (are) forever grateful to them.”
Deputies were able to track down the suspect’s vehicle and detained a person of interest.
The sheriff’s office identified that person as Noah Brandon Collum Bays, 31, of Piqua.
Bays has been arrested and is currently booked in the Miami County Jail pending extradition proceedings.
He is facing two counts of felonious assault and has a bond of $200,000, according to the sheriff’s office.
This was an isolated incident, and there is no further threat to the community.
Both women have received medical treatment and are recovering, the sheriff’s office said.
This shooting remains under investigation.
