Body camera video that shows the chase and capture of a juvenile suspect with a gun at the Canfield Fair earlier in September.

The video shows deputies finding the 17-year-old suspect and running after him and eventually detaining and arresting him.

Once he was detained, the juvenile repeatedly tells deputies he did not have a gun and that he wasn't doing anything wrong. However, deputies eventually reveal to him that they did find a gun with his DNA on it nearby.

A report from the Mahoning County Sheriff's Office says the incident began when the 17-year-old in a ski mask flashed a gun at another teen who was walking to the grandstands for a concert.

Deputies say the 17-year-old suspect told the victim to "watch his back" and mentioned him talking about his dead cousin.

The victim's girlfriend told deputies that the 17-year-old suspect had showed up to her house with a gun in the past, threatening to kill her and her family.

Deputies say the gun was found underneath a storage truck shortly after the juvenile was detained.
