 On April 12, around 8:30 p.m., the Evansville Police Department was called to 1148 Washington Ave. to the McDonald’s drive-thru for a shooting. Arriving officers were able to locate a male who had been shot while sitting in his vehicle. An ambulance crew transported the victim to a local hospital to seek treatment for his gunshot wounds.Â
Detectives were able to speak with several witnesses who told them that the victim was arguing with someone in a different vehicle while in the drive-thru. After several words were exchanged between the occupants of the two vehicles, the suspect vehicle drove away. A short time later, while waiting for his food, the victim was shot while still in his car.Â
The victim had injuries to his thigh and lower abdominal area. He was unable to speak with detectives at the time of the shooting, but is expected to survive his injuries.Â
Anyone who hasn’t spoken to authorities yet and may have information about this incident is asked to contact the Evansville Police Department’s Detective Office at 812-436-7979, or call the We Tip Line at 1-800-
