According to the release, police were dispatched to the 500-block of West Third Street on May 4 at 11:54 a.m. for a report of a shooting. Police said the male suspect approached his intended victim from the alley behind the 500-block of West Third Street, fired several shots from a semi-automatic handgun, but all of the shots missed and instead struck a building. A witness reported seeing a male subject running from the scene shortly after the shooting occurred.
