Shots Fired
On January 13 at 10:42 p.m., residents in the area of 1100 South Primrose heard several shots fired.  Officers responded and discovered four .45 caliber bullet casings in the south alley in the 200 block of West Huntington, near Magnolia.  Video surveillance showed a male suspect, possibly White or Hispanic, wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt in the alley.  The suspect fired four rounds east in the alley, then he ran west out of sight.  It is unknown what he was shooting at; however, at the time of the shooting, the manager of a business saw a male Black subject, approximately 18 to 20 years old, wearing baggy clothing, dancing around in the parking lot.  He then ran east toward Primrose.  It's possible he could have been the target and was attempting to avoid getting hit.  No impact points or blood on the ground was located.  Hospitals were notified, but no victims were reported during the night.
 
On January 16 at approximately 3:00 a.m., an officer stopped a suspicious subject.  During the contact, the subject claimed to be the victim of the shooting that occurred on January 13.  The victim said he was in a business parking lot and was shot at; he was not struck or injured.  The victim would not cooperate with the officer and refused to provide any additional information.  The clothing the victim was wearing during his contact with the officer matched the possible victim's clothing reported on the night of the shooting.  The officer completed a supplemental report regarding his contact with the possible victim and an identification card was also completed.  Investigation continuing.
 
Grand Theft Auto - Motorcycle
On January 14 at 2:33 a.m., a resident in the 300 block of South Shamrock heard noises in his front yard and went outside to investigate.  He saw his 2005, orange and black, KTM, dirt bike motorcycle was missing off a trailer he had parked on the street in front of his house.  Witnesses told him they saw a male Hispanic subject, approximately 30 years old, pushing it west on Lemon toward California.  Officers searched the area for the suspect and the motorcycle, but did not locate either.  Investigation continuing.
