A suspect was taken into custody Wednesday and charged with assault in a shooting that wounded two people early Monday morning in Mobile, police said.

Cheekco Peebles, 45, was taken to the Mobile Metro Jail on assault charges as well as multiple outstanding warrants, said Mobile police Cpl. Katrina Frazier.

Officers responded to the 1000 block of Lyons Street around 1:35 a.m. Monday, she said.

The victims were taken to a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries, Frazier said.
