Savannah-Chatham police are searching for an 18-year-old man they believe shot a 25-year-old near Factors’ Walk Thursday evening.
Charles Leonard Mobley, of a Stokes Street address, is accused of shooting Maurice Leonard Baker, of a Holland Drive address, about 6 p.m., said Julian Miller, police spokesman.
Baker was treated for a gunshot wound to his foot at Memorial University Medical Center then arrested and charged with possession of a firearm by a felon.
He told investigators the shooting occurred after Mobley twice robbed him in Yamacraw Village earlier in the week, Miller said. The two exchanged gunfire Thursday evening in the area between Bay and River streets near Barnard Street after Baker said he was walking in the area smoking marijuana and came upon Mobley.
Mobley is described as a black male, about 5’ 5” and 145 pounds with brown hair and eyes. He may have a slight mustache, Miller said.
Anyone with information on his location is asked to call Crimestoppers at 912-234-2020 or text CRIMES (274637). In the body type, include “CStop2020” plus the tip. Tipsters remain anonymous and may qualify for a cash reward.
