We're learning of an arrest in connection with the shooting of 11 people in a park party in Brooklyn.

Jacksonville police arrested 22 year-old Toddrick Ashley Friday night. He's charged with possession of a firearm by a convict.

A pregnant woman's baby died and 11 people were hit by bullets at J.S. Johnson Park two Sunday's ago.

A witness told police that Ashley pulled a gun from his waistband and fired several shots.

Despite reports Friday night of police activity at the westside home where Ashley was arrested, police would only say at the time that they were working an ongoing investigation.

The public was notified during a news conference at 11am Monday. According to the Sheriff's Office inmate search, Ashley was admitted to the jail at 8:49pm Friday.
