District 5 is investigating a shooting that happened on February 6 in the 4600 block of Cote Brilliante.
Just before 1:40 p.m., officers received a call for a shooting at the location. Upon arrival, they located a 22-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound to his hip. A second victim, a 29-year-old man, contacted police to report he was grazed by a bullet but did not want to wait for police.
A preliminary investigation revealed both men were struck by gunfire when a 19-year-old male, who is the 22-year-old man’s brother, fired shots at the 29-year-old man. The 19-year-old fled from the scene after the incident.
EMS responded and transported the 22-year-old man to the hospital where he was listed in stable condition. The investigating is ongoing.
