A manhunt is underway for a New York man after a late-night shooting incident in Lincoln, Massachusetts, triggered an intense search involving multiple law enforcement agencies. According to the Lincoln Police Department's Facebook post, gunshots were reported near South Great Road close to the Weston town line just before midnight, prompting a swift response from local officers.

During the sweep of the area, Sgt. Regan of the Lincoln Police Department came across a vehicle in a conservation lot and found an AK-47 and a 9mm handgun; while a 20-year-old Lincoln resident was apprehended, a second suspect known as Justin Warner, a 20-year-old from Clay, New York, managed to flee the scene on foot, the suspect believed to be involved in the shooting incident is still at large, officers from the Weston Police Department, Wayland Police Department, Concord Police Department, and the Massachusetts State Police were called in to aid with the search, which also included aerial support from a Waltham Police drone and a K-9 unit, yet the suspect remained elusive.

Authorities are circulating a photograph of Justin Warner and urging anyone with information to contact Lincoln Police at 781-259-8113. Despite an extensive search, the police have disclosed, "We believe that he is no longer in the immediate area," suggesting Warner may have managed to travel away from the region following the incident.
