APD investigating shots fired around 11th and F streets

On 3/8/16 at about 8:50 PM, Arcata Police Department received a report of shots fired in the area of 11th St and F St.

 

Officers contacted a witness who saw two subjects running up the dirt embankment from the Tea Garden Apartments (1120 F St) to 11th St.  Moments later a third subject ran out from the area of the Tea Garden Apartments and fired two gun shots at the first two subjects.

 

The two subjects were last seen getting into a tan or gold sedan, similar to an early 1990's Toyota Corolla.  The vehicle then left the area eastbound on 11th St.  The third subject, who fired the shots, left the area in an unknown direction. 

 

The shooting suspect is described as a Black Male Adult approximately 20-25 years old 6 feet tall with a slim build.  He was last seen wearing a white hooded sweatshirt and a baseball style hat.

 

Officers checked the area and found bullet casings on the ground near where the witness reported the shots.  There was no evidence found on scene of anybody being struck by one of the bullets.

 

If anybody witnessed the crime or knows the whereabouts of either the victims or the suspect, please contact the Arcata Police Department.
