Upon arrival, officers located an 18-year-old victim, suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. He was transported to the hospital, where he received treatment for a non-life-threatening injury.

Through an investigation, a juvenile suspect was identified and ultimately detained at the Juvenile Justice Center for Aggravated Battery with a Deadly Weapon and Criminal Recklessness. While being transported to the police station for an interview, the juvenile suspect kicked out the window of a patrol vehicle, leading to an additional charge of Vandalism.
