Police are searching for the perpetrator(s) of a shooting that had them establish two crime scenes.
Responding to the 2200 block of Point Breeze Avenue for a person-with-a-gun report at 11:08 p.m. March 22, authorities located the complainant suffering from a gunshot wound to the buttocks, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. They transported him to Presbyterian Hospital and went on to set up investigations on the aforementioned block and the 2100 block of Marston Terrace.
In the former, they determined a projectile had gone through the first-floor window of a residence and had come to rest in the living room, causing no injury to the occupants. Another object had also ventured through a first-floor window at the second address and had become lodged in a door frame. Law enforcement officials went on to recover additional ballistics evidence on the 2200 block of South 28th Street.
The complainant said he had been walking from a food store on the 2800 block of Jackson Street when he heard several gunshots. He soon felt his leg go numb yet continued to run, finally resting on the 2700 block of Cantrell Terrace. Video surveillance caught the incident, but as of press time, authorities had not released any images and had no description of the shooter(s).
