This page will be updated as new incidents occur.

Here's a recap of incidents occurring last night:

The incident was later determined to be a no-hit shooting. The preliminary investigation indicates a male adult victim exited a vehicle when he was approached by a male adult suspect. The suspect pointed a firearm at the victim and tried to rob him. The victim fled and heard multiple gunshots behind him. The suspect fled the scene before police arrived. Officers were unable to locate any evidence of a shooting. The investigation is ongoing.
