There had been several calls to 911 of shots fired in the area, and officers were able to locate a victim in the 200 Block of 23 Avenue. The vicitm told officers he was driving his car southbound on 23rd from East Jefferson when he saw a green, early 90′s Suburban pull up next to him. The victim stated that he heard a number of shots coming from the suspect vehicle and heard the bullets striking his car. The victim was able to pull his car into a parking area off the road as the suspect vehicle left the area.

The victim told investigating officers that he recognized the suspect as someone he has had a dispute with and officers are following up on that information. Officers conducted an area check for the suspect vehicle but it had fled the area.
Hello neighbors,
My wife and I heard the shots this morning — so unfortunate and extremely disconcerting for many reasons…one being that we are to be new parents in June, and “that” is the last thing we want our child exposed to.
It is really too bad that there are so many jack ass gangsters (assholes who need to grow up and get a real job).
Aside from that, happy new year everyone.
I am actually glad this victim snictched. The gangsta’s are unreasonable and play by different, more animalistic rules, I am glad this time, the victim worked w/ police.
I seem to remember this being a vehicle of interest involved in a shooting near Powell Barnett Park last summer.
