Three separate shooting incidents in Central District last night

At approximately 7:30 pm last night, East Precinct officers responded to a report of shots fired in the area of 26th Avenue and East Spring Street. When officers arrived they located several spent 9mm shell casings on the north side of the intersection. They contacted a witness who stated that he heard 6-8 gunshots. The witness also stated that right after he heard the shots he eyed a black masculine in his twenties, wearing a black sweatshirt and dark pants running eastbound on East Spring from 26th Avenue.

Officers responded and met with a victim in the parking lot at 28th and Cherry who told them the following:

She had just pulled into the parking lot with her infant daughter and was preparing to come in an apartment building when she heard several shots fired. She looked toward the southwest corner of the building where the noise was coming from and she eyed a black masculine wearing a white t-shirt, blue jeans, and covering his face with another t T-shirt, firing a handgun toward her direction. The victim stated that she began honking her horn and yelling as noisy as she could to attract attention and then spotted the suspect run behind the building. The woman then called 911. She told officers that she did not recognize the man and she did not believe there was anyone else in the parking lot at the time. Neither the woman or her baby were injured.

A number of officers had responded to the call and containment was set up. A K-9 team responded and began a track, but the suspect was not located. Officers located a car in the parking lot parked one stall south of the victim’s with a bullet slot in the driver’s side window and front passenger side window.
