District 1 is investigating a domestic-related shooting that happened on April 17, 2025 in the 2900 block of Mount Pleasant.
Shortly before 12:15 p.m., officers received a shooting call at a residence at the location. Upon arriving, they located a 23-year-old man and a 53-year-old woman with gunshot wounds to their legs. An additional 31-year-old woman at the home was not injured.
A preliminary investigation revealed, the 31-year-old woman and her 32-year-old boyfriend (suspect) arrived at the 53-year-old woman’s home, who is the mother of the 31-year-old woman. While at the residence, the above-mentioned 23-year-old man, who is the brother of the 31-year-old woman, became upset due to the suspect coming to the residence.
An argument occurred between the 23-year-old man and the suspect regarding the suspect’s presence at the home. After the argument, the suspect left the residence, however, he returned a few minutes later and fired gunshots into the residence. The shots struck the 23-year-old man and the 53-year-old woman in their legs.
The suspect fled from the scene in a Ford Fusion after the shooting. EMS responded and transported the 23-year-old man and the 53-year-old woman to the hospital where they were listed in stable condition.
A short time later, officers located the suspect’s Ford in the rear of the 3100 block of Osceola. An investigation of the suspect’s whereabouts led to a home in the 4400 block of S. Compton. SWAT and negotiators were called to the scene in an attempt to apprehend the suspect from inside the residence. However, after gaining entry into the home, it was revealed the suspect was not inside. The investigation remains ongoing.
