Police Investigate Overnight Shooting During Vehicle Trespass

Released on Monday, October 21, 2024

On October 21, 2024, at approximately 1:20 a.m., officers responded to a report of a shooting in the 700 block of Crown Ridge Ln. The victim had been awoken by a family member who had observed two unidentified males breaking into her vehicle, which was parked in front of her residence. The victim ran outside to confront the suspects, at which point one of the males fired multiple shots, striking the victim in the leg.

The suspects fled on foot before officers arrived. Officers on scene provided immediate medical assistance to the victim until EMS arrived. The victim was transported to an area hospital, where she was treated for her injuries and has since been released.

The suspects were described as two males, wearing dark-colored clothing, hoodies, and backpacks. The suspects are outstanding and considered armed and dangerous.

We are asking the community to check any home security cameras, doorbell cameras, or business surveillance footage for any suspicious activity, especially any individuals matching the suspects’ description, between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. from Sunday night into Monday morning.

Additionally, if you experienced a vehicle trespass in the area since August 1, 2024, and have not yet reported it to police, we encourage you to do so.
