Evansville Police were called to the area of Lincoln and Bedford around 10:10pm on Wednesday night for a report of shots fired. Officers arrived and found a 16 year old male who had been shot in the shoulder. The victim told officers he did not know who shot him.
The juvenile was taken to a local hospital for treatment and is expected to recover.
This shooting is in the same area where four people were injured by gunfire on Monday night. That shooting is believed to be gang related. Jarnell Carter had been charged with four counts of attempted murder I that case and has been waived to adult court. It is unclear at this time if the two incidents are connected.
Anyone with information on either shooting is asked to call EPD at 812-436-7979 or WeTip at 1-800-CRIME.
