District 5 is investigating a shooting that allegedly happened on March 25, 2025 in the 5700 block of Natural Bridge.
At approximately 3:15 a.m., officers received a call for a shooting victim that showed up to a hospital. Upon arriving to the hospital, officers met a 52-year-old man with gunshot wounds to his foot/ankle.
The 52-year-old man reported that at approximately 2 a.m., he was walking in the 5700 block of Natural Bridge when an unknown vehicle drove past him blaring loud music. The man said he then felt pain in his feet and realized he had been shot. The man further claimed he called a friend to drive him home after he was shot and then he was privately conveyed to the hospital where he was listed in stable condition.
An investigation revealed there were no ShotSpotter calls from the location the man claims to have been shot. Real Time Crime Center cameras in the area also did not capture evidence to support the man’s claims; however, the investigation remains ongoing.
