Crime of the Week #43

December 6, 2019

AGGRAVATED ASSAULT

It was about 10:30 p.m. on November 26, 2019 when a man and his son pulled their car out of the Q-Mart at 2133 Lamar Avenue. He soon noticed a silver vehicle following close behind. As he neared the intersection of Castalia Street and East Person Avenue, the driver pulled to the side to let the vehicle pass. That’s when gunfire started, he said, and his son was struck.

The nine-year-old juvenile was transported to Le Bonheur Hospital and remains in critical condition. Investigators need help solving this crime. Anyone who has information should contact CrimeStoppers at 528-CASH (2274).
