Savannah-Chatham police detectives are investigating a shooting that took place Tuesday afternoon.
A 23-year-old man was taken to Memorial University Medical Center after Central Precinct patrol officers found him with a non-life-threatening wound to his leg about 3:30 p.m. in the 600 block of West 40th St., said Julian Miller, police spokesman.
Police responded to the shooting call to find the injured man and a car that had collided with a parked vehicle nearby, Miller said.
Officers were advised the man had been standing in front of a house when the car drove by and a passenger fired shots at him.
The car then crashed, and the occupants got out, entered another car and drove away, Miller said.
Police are asking anyone with information about the shooting 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.
A confidential tip line is also open directly to investigators at 912-525-3124. Callers preferring to speak directly to detectives without reward potential can arrange private discussions.
