SLPD probes shooting that left man injured

San Luis police officers are investigating a shooting that happened last week and sent one man to the hospital, where he was treated for a non life-threatening injury.

According to information provided by the San Luis Police Department, on Thursday officers responded to the intersection of Cesar Chavez Street and C Street for a report of shots fired.

When officers arrived on scene they spoke with several witnesses who stated that a verbal argument took place, and that a male suspect wearing a dark hooded sweater shot at the victim four times with a handgun.

The witnesses also told officers that the suspect who had fired the shots fled the scene as a passenger in an unknown dark in color sedan.

The male victim, who was struck by one of the bullets on his leg, was transported by a San Luis Fire Department ambulance to Yuma Regional Medical Center, where he was treated and later released.
