I, Ptl. Reeder, responded in emergency mode to 1416 Radium Springs Rd in reference to a shooting.

Upon arrival I made contact with [VICTIM #1] who advised he was in a burgundy in color Pontiac displaying GA Tag: [REDACTED], when he got shot at. [VICTIM #1] stated he was sitting behind the driver seat. [VICTIM #1] stated he was in the car with his brother, [VICTIM #2], and [VICTIM #2]’s friend, [VICTIM #3]. [VICTIM #1] stated [VICTIM #2] was driving and [VICTIM #3] was in the front passenger seat.

[VICTIM #1] stated [VICTIM #2] turned down an alley, later discovered as the 700 block of Moultrie Rd Alley, and there was a black male wearing black pants and a grey hoodie standing against the fence of [1200 BLOCK] Van Deman St. [VICTIM #1] stated the male then started shooting at the vehicle. [VICTIM #1] stated he along with [VICTIM #2] and [VICTIM #3] started ducking.

[VICTIM #1] stated the car then rolled west down the alley a few feet and they just sat in the car. [VICTIM #1] stated they then got out of the car and ran. [VICTIM #1] stated he ran towards Morningside Dr. [VICTIM #1] stated he then lost [VICTIM #2] and [VICTIM #3]. [VICTIM #1] stated he then ran to Advanced Autoparts (1416 Radium Springs Rd) and let them know to call the Police. [VICTIM #1] stated he then started throwing up.

[VICTIM #1] stated he doesn’t know why they were being shot at or who it was. [VICTIM #1] stated he has his own car and he was just riding around with them. Cpl. Perry and Sgt. Tuten located the vehicle in the 700 block of Moultrie Rd alley. Sgt. Laethem then did a pat search on [VICTIM #1] and I transported [VICTIM #1] to the scene.

Once on scene I observed the vehicle facing west in the alley. I observed the car still on and music was playing. I observed a tan in color pistol style BB-Gun located in the rear passenger seat along with a ski mask, on the passenger side. I observed a bullet hole at the top of the windshield and the frame on the passenger side. I observed a bullet hole midway up on the passenger side windshield. I observed parts of the passenger side windshield to be busted and cracked. I observed approximately (4) bullet holes in the hood of the vehicle on the passenger side. I observed a bullet hole to the bottom of the front bumper on the passenger side. Photos of the vehicle were taken and will be logged into locker #02.

Sgt. Laethem then advised he found shell casings in the back yard of [1200 BLOCK] Van Deman St. I then recovered (14) PSD .25 Shell casings. Sgt. Tuten advised he found (1) 9mm Luger shell casing approximately 55 yards west of the vehicle and (1) 9 x19 round 50 yards west of the vehicle. The shell casings and live round will be logged into locker #02 for evidence.

[VICTIM #3] then arrived on scene. [VICTIM #3] stated he filed a report about his gun being stolen from him by Michael Gibson, on Thursday (01/22/26). [VICTIM #3] stated he was hanging around some girls and they brought Michael up. [VICTIM #3] stated he acted like he didn’t know who they were talking about. [VICTIM #3] stated one of the girls ended up saying where Michael is usually at.

[VICTIM #3] stated Michael had on a black hoodie, red slides, and black or red pants. [VICTIM #3] stated he didn’t tell Michael that he was coming to the area or let anyone know that he was in the area. [VICTIM #3] stated he was friends with Micahel up until about last week when Michael stole his gun. [VICTIM #3] stated he let Michael hold his gun then he blocked him on social media and his number. I then asked [VICTIM #3] where [VICTIM #2] was to which he stated at his residence.

[VICTIM #3] then followed behind my patrol car and I transported [VICTIM #1] to [1800 BLOCK] Sycamore Ct. Upon arrival Sgt. Laethem advised him along with Cpl. Perry and Ptl. Morency were going to attempt contact with Michael at (2) of his last known addresses. They were met with negative results.
