Police searching for suspects in Salisbury shootings

SALISBURY, Md. – In Salisbury, one neighborhood is at the center of two shooting investigations. Police are on the hunt for two suspects responsible for a Tuesday night shooting that sent a man to the hospital and another incident involving shots fired.

At approximately 8 p.m., officers were called to Peninsula Regional Medical Center for a reported shooting that happened in the 600 block of Light Street. Through initial investigation, police learned that a 25-year-old male and a 24-year-old female were at a home in the area when they were approached by two suspects.

The suspects and the victims reportedly became engaged in a verbal altercation, which quickly turned into a physical confrontation, leading one of the suspects to pull out a shotgun and point it at the victims.

The victims then got in their vehicle and began fleeing the area, while one of the suspects allegedly fired multiple shots at the vehicle. The male victim suffered gunshot wounds to his upper torso and head area as a result. The vehicle also sustained damage from the gunshots.

The male victim was treated for non-life threatening injuries at PRMC and was later released. The female victim was not injured in the incident.

Officers searched the area for the suspects, but were not able to locate them. The first suspect was described as a male with a thin build, wearing a green sweat shirt ski-mask and armed with a dark colored shotgun. The second suspect was also a male with a thin build, wearing all black clothing and wearing a ski mask.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is urged to contact the Salisbury Police Department Criminal Investigation Division at 833-SBY-CITY or Crime Solvers at 410-548-1776.
