Allentown police are investigating an overnight shooting that left one person injured early Friday.

Authorities continue to investigate the fatal shooting of a 29-year-old on Lehigh Street in the city Monday night.

The Lehigh County coroner’s office said Erik Mondragon was killed by gunfire in the 700 block of Lehigh Street. A relative and neighbor of the victim said Mondragon’s wife was also struck by a bullet when a group of teens opened fire following an argument that began with another group of teenagers.

A short time later, police say they responded to the 500 block of North Fifth Street for reports of a shooting. Officers found an individual at the scene with a gunshot wound in the leg.

The victim was treated at the scene and taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital-Cedar Crest, but was uncooperative with investigators.
