Police arrested Onslow Black on Wednesday night. He is charged with multiple counts of assault with a deadly weapon.
Investigators have not released the name of the second person they are looking for in connection with the shooting.
Police swarmed the area Wednesday after several shots were fired. The three people who were hit were taken to a hospital and are expected to be OK.
Neighbors described the chaotic scene.
"We were in the house, and we heard four gunshots and then we heard, like, six more," said resident Latasha Pickens.
Jalisa Walker's family lives across the street from where the shooting happened.
"He was just shooting in broad daylight like it was the wild, wild west or something," Walker said.
Investigators said two people got into an argument that escalated into gunfire. Neighbors said dozens of families and children were outside at the time.
"I looked out the door and saw everybody running, and then we saw our friend running and she was bleeding," Pickens said.
Walker said the women who were shot were trying to protect their children. The brazen shooting has unnerved many residents.
"I just feel like we need more safety out here, like the office needs to do something like community police officers or something," Walker said. "This is not a place for anyone to live if crime is going to be done like that."
