Breon Cobb-Cooper, 23, was apprehended on Tuesday in the area of 300 East Marshall Street in West Chester, according to Chester City police.
Cobb-Cooper had been wanted for an incident on Sept. 16 in which he is accused of firing shots in the parking lot of Chester Shop & Save on West 9th Street.
Officers found multiple shell casings as well as a home, and numerous vehicles that were struck by bullets, police said.
While on the scene, officers were told there was a walk-in shooting victim at Crozer Chester Medical Center.
There, they met with a seven-year-old girl, whose mother said she was the passenger of a vehicle near the convenience store when shots were fired, according to police.
The girl was struck three times, including once in the chest, police said.
She was later transported to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia where she received further treatment.
The girl is listed in good condition, authorities said.
Cobb-Cooper was arraigned by District Judge Hunter who set bail at $500,000 cash.
He was committed to George W. Hill Correctional Facility where he will await a preliminary hearing scheduled for October 13.
