Officers were called around 6:35 a.m. to the 2500 block of East Abram Street, where they found a 24-year-old man suffering from several gunshot wounds. He was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. According to FOX 4, the suspected shooter initially left the parking lot after the gunfire but later phoned 911 to report his involvement. Police located him at another undisclosed location and arrested him without incident.
Investigators are still interviewing the suspect, and criminal charges are pending. Authorities have not released the names of either the victim or the suspect.
