District 4 is investigating a shooting that left a 21-year-old man injured on November 12 in the 3700 block of Vest Ave.
The 21-year-old told officers he was at the location around 5 p.m. to meet a “friend” (a male suspect) which he could not provide a name for. While meeting, the 21-year-old said the suspect produced a firearm and announced a robbery. The 21-year-old said when he attempted to run away, the suspect fired shots at him, striking him in the shoulder.
The suspect took property the 21-year-old left behind before fleeing the scene. The 21-year-old was privately conveyed to a hospital where he was listed in stable condition. The investigation is ongoing.
