Cleveland Police said an 18-year-old man was arrested Wednesday night in connection with the shooting of an Uber driver earlier this week.
Police said Deandre Griggs was arrested at his Garfield Heights home.
Officers said they found a gun at the time of the arrest and are working to determine if it was used in the attack against the rideshare driver.
Griggs is charged with felonious assault. He's scheduled to appear in Cleveland Municipal Court Friday morning.

According to the Cleveland Division of Police, just before 10:30 p.m. Tuesday, officers were called to the 3400 block of East 146th Street for a report of a man shot. Officers arrived and found the 41-year-old shot in the face.

The police report states the attack was caught on a doorbell camera video.
Another witness told police they saw someone dressed in all black get out of the passenger side, fire a shot, push the victim aside, and then drive off in the truck.
Police found the man's vehicle ditched nearby.
The victim was taken to the hospital, where police said he underwent surgery.
Investigators said the break in the case came when they looked at the driver's phone and saw a notification from Uber and contacted the company.
"Once they realized he was a rideshare driver, they worked very thoroughly, very quickly to, to identify the suspect in this case," said Cleveland Police Officer Mariah Rodriguez.
Rodriguez said detectives are still trying to determine a motive for the shooting.
This comes after two Lyft drivers were killed earlier this year, just days apart.

Rodriguez pointed out that in each case, the accused shooters were arrested within days of the attacks.
She said police do not believe rideshare drivers are under attack.
"For those who do drive for Uber or Lyft or any of these other rideshares, I would not feel as if it was a targeted victim," said Rodriguez. "They could just be random, that's still kind of part of the investigation."
Rodriguez recommended any rideshare driver who feels unsafe or believes something isn't right cancel their ride.
"If you're not familiar with the area or if you feel more safe kind of taking that ride and going to the police district and canceling the ride there, anything that makes you feel more comfortable."
