At the scene of the initial shooting, officers discovered a car riddled with multiple bullet holes, which was cordoned off with crime scene tape as authorities conducted their investigation.
Shortly after this incident, the Inglenook community faced another shooting. Around 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, police received reports from residents concerning shots fired in the area of the 4400 block of 41st Pl. North. Upon arrival, they found two men, identified as Camry Enrieque Lee, 19, and Michael Allen Carroll, 41, suffering from gunshot wounds near an abandoned house. One man was located in the backyard while the other was found inside the house.
In further inquiry, the police found an uninjured man inside the house and took him for questioning related to the incident. Additionally, a separate individual was seen walking in the neighborhood and was also questioned by law enforcement. After interviews, both men who were questioned were released, as no charges were filed against them.
A stolen vehicle was also uncovered at the site of the second shooting, which has raised suspicions regarding the nature of these incidents.
