A city-wide manhunt is underway for a lone unidentified gunman following a late-night shooting that left one man injured on Lower All Saints Road this Thursday. Local law enforcement confirmed the incident unfolded just after 9:30 p.m., when a nearby business owner caught sounds of violence that would quickly alert authorities to the emergency. According to initial witness accounts, the proprietor heard two distinct gunshots ring out through the neighborhood before spotting the wounded man staggering in the direction of the city’s Public Market.
Quick-acting emergency medical teams responded rapidly to the scene, rushing the victim to a local hospital for urgent care. The man is currently being treated for a single gunshot wound to the leg, and there has been no update as of Friday morning on his current condition. Law enforcement officers arrived at the shooting site minutes after the first emergency call was placed, immediately cordoning off the area to preserve evidence and launching a full criminal investigation into the attack.
As the search for the suspect enters its first full day, police are urging members of the public who may have seen any suspicious activity in the Lower All Saints Road area between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. Thursday to come forward with information. Any person with details that could assist in identifying or locating the gunman is asked to contact the local Criminal Investigations Department directly at either 462-3913 or 462-3914. All tips can be provided anonymously, and law enforcement has emphasized that even small pieces of information could prove critical to solving the case.
