South Portland police have identified a pair of 21-year-old suspects in connection with gunfire that took place near the Maine Mall Wednesday evening.

South Portland police say a person shot at a car during an altercation that started Wednesday inside a restaurant near the Maine Mall. Though the vehicle was damaged, no one was injured.

Police say two groups of people got into an altercation inside Kobe Steakhouse, then moved out into the parking lot. Once outside, the suspect threatened the others with a handgun, Detective Lt. Christopher Todd said in a release.

Police are asking for the public’s help locating Navinn Ean, of Westbrook, and Jonathan Hanson, of Buxton. Police have not said what their specific roles in the altercation were.

Both men are charged with reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon and criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon, Todd said in another written statement Thursday afternoon.

Ean is also charged with driving to endanger and three counts of violating the conditions of release related to previous arrests. Hanson also faces charges of criminal mischief and terrorizing.

The victims were able to leave in a vehicle but were followed by the suspect. When both cars reached the intersection of Gorham Road and Western Avenue, the suspect fired the gun in the direction of the victims’ car, Todd said.

The victims’ car was struck and the suspect fled onto Western Avenue, according to Todd.

“Luckily no one was hurt in the incident,” Todd said.

The incident was reported to police in a 911 call at 5:13 p.m.

Police have not said if the two groups of people knew each other or what started the conflict in the restaurant.

Police are also searching for Ean’s vehicle, a blue 2018 Dodge Charger with Maine Black Bears specialty plates and registration SRT74.
