- Shots fired incidents: East Precinct police investigated two shots fired incidents over the weekend. Early Saturday just before 2 AM, police were called to the area near 7th and Spring where officer located shell casings but no victims. SPD says no witnesses saw the shooting but one reported a silver Infinity FX35 possibly chasing a male on foot, last seen going westbound on Madison from 8th Ave. There were no reported injuries or property damage, and no arrests.
SPD also investigated a shooting incident Friday just before 7 PM near 12th and Jefferson:
Upon arrival, evidence of a shooting was located in the parking lot and officers reviewed other available evidence which indicated that a male exited a blue BMW and entered the convenience store, while inside the store another subject exited a white dodge charger and entered into the driver’s seat of the previously occupied BMW. The male inside the store exited and attempted to recover his vehicle by firing several shots at close range into the driver’s side of the vehicle and the rear of the vehicle. Both parties were gone on officers’ arrival. A short period later officers located and recovered the involved BMW and ascertained an identity for the registered owner and suspected shooter, who is also a convicted felon.
SPD says its Gun Violence Reduction Unit is investigating the incident.
