I responded in normal patrol mode to 707 W Highland Ave (R & M Grocery).
Upon arrival I observed one of the front glass doors to be completely shattered (approximately $500 cost) and a hole in the center as if it was shot. Using Flock, a Raven alert detected a single gunshot at 707 W Highland Ave at 2203 hours. I canvassed the area for any shell casings with negative results.
I made contact with the store’s owner [VICTIM #1] and his wife [VICTIM #2] who advised they were inside the store at the time of the incident and had no visible injuries. [VICTIM #1] showed me the surveillance footage from a camera positioned outside. The footage showed possibly a red Jeep Grand Cherokee displaying Ga tag#[REDACTED] pulling into the parking lot at a high rate of speed next to a black male subject ([VICTIM #3], red shirt, bald, black pants). A muzzle flash is seen coming from the front passenger’s side of the vehicle, and [VICTIM #3] then falls to the ground. The vehicle is seen leaving the scene heading south in the 300-blk S McKinley St. [VICTIM #3] then get up and walk off. Sgt. Tuten and Ptl. Walker later observed [VICTIM #3] walking down the street, but he only wanted to advise that the vehicle was occupied by a single female, and she had a revolver handgun. [VICTIM #3] also advised that the Jeep Grand Cherokee seen on Flock was the same vehicle in this incident. [VICTIM #3] had no visible injuries. Pictures were taken of the scene and the surveillance footage was collected for evidence, which was later submitted into locker #2 at the Law Enforcement Center. I later canvassed the area in search of the vehicle with negative results.
This case is active and is forwarded to the Investigations Division.
