Updated: Sep 13, 2023
In the early morning of June 17th at approximately 3:16 am, a Gainesville police officer shouted through his radio that shots were fired.
The male victim was sitting in his car at Archstone Luxury apartments on Southwest 12th Street when the suspect shot at him. A witness reported that the shooter shot the victim from a vehicle, causing the victim to crash his car. The victim then proceeded to exit his vehicle in an attempt to flee the scene by foot.
The victim sustained three gunshot injuries: one graze to the forehead, one shot to the left hand, and another shot to the left pinky finger. Police responded to the shooting by blocking off 1st Avenue and Alligator Alley in order to check vehicles coming in and out of the area. Police later got a call from a resident at Archstone apartments saying they saw someone run behind a car and drive off. A vehicle description was not provided.
The Gainesville Police Department has not yet made any announcements regarding this incident and it is currently unknown if any arrests have been made. When an update is retrieved it will be posted to this page.
