Call it a cold case heating up as DeSoto cops make a public appeal, hunting for the trigger man in a random late-October shooting that shook up Kestrel Ave. The DeSoto Police Department turned to the people on Monday, hoping for a break in the bizarre case of gunfire that sent one person to the hospital and was expected to bounce back after cops and paramedics hustled to swap bullet wounds for bandages on that fateful day.
The perp, a mid-30s Hispanic male, vanished like a ghost into the maze of Omar Street and Polk Street neighborhoods, leaving detectives practically begging for just a sliver of insight and a name to match the face of the man who turned a quiet street into a crime scene. "Detectives are now searching for the subject responsible for the shooting and need the public’s help to identify him," as per DeSoto Police Department.
