Authorities probing the fatal shooting of 29-year-old Leyandrew Hubbard in Potters are turning to the local community for critical support, saying that information held by local residents could be the key to unlocking a major breakthrough in the case. The violent incident unfolded on Sunday morning, when armed attackers opened fire on their targets from a moving vehicle. Hubbard was killed in the attack, while a second victim — an 18-year-old male — was rushed to a local hospital, where he remains in critical condition as of the latest updates.
Speaking to reporters this Thursday, Police Commissioner Everton Jeffers confirmed that investigative teams are pursuing multiple parallel lines of inquiry to identify and apprehend the perpetrators. Even as active work on the case continues, Jeffers stressed that the investigation’s timeline and ultimate success may hinge on ordinary witnesses stepping forward to share what they observed.
In a formal public appeal, Jeffers urged anyone living in or passing through the area to come forward with even the most seemingly trivial details about the hours before, during, or after the shooting. Many minor pieces of information that look unimportant to members of the public can add up to critical context that helps detectives connect the dots and solve violent crimes.
“We are confident that there are people in the community who saw something, heard something, or hold knowledge that could advance this investigation significantly,” Jeffers stated. “Coming forward to share what you know could be the difference that lets us hold those accountable for this violence, and deliver justice for Leyandrew Hubbard and his family.”
