An 18-year-old man turned himself in Sunday evening after a shooting late Friday night in the Eastside neighborhood of Covington left a 13-year-old in “critical condition,” the Covington Police Department said.
Around 11:30 p.m. Friday, officers responded to an apartment in the 100 block of East 11th Street for reports of a shooting. Upon arrival, officers located a 13-year-old boy with a gunshot wound.
