LBPD PIO Brandon Fahey says officers responded at about 9:15 p.m., canvassed the area and found evidence, including bullet casings, that a shooting had occurred. "A short time later, officers responded to a residence regarding a call of a vehicle that was shot at." Officers contcted a man (victim) "who was determined to be associated with the shooting" and stated that he "was driving his vehicle and came to a stop when an adult male suspect approached his vehicle, shot at him, and fled the scene before officers arrived."

The victim wasn't hit; a motive for the shooting is unknown and LBPD's investigation is ongoing.
