Tyrone police are looking for a suspect in an April 15 shooting and asking the public for help as well.
According to a statement released by the Tyrone Police Department, officers responded at about 4:40 a.m. Monday to a call about a possible shooting and found a victim who has indeed been shot. The victim was transported to an area hospital and is expected to recover.
The suspect fled the scene before officers arrived, but police have identified him: Shane McCall, a Hispanic male, driving a dark blue four-door vehicle believed to be a Hyundai Accent with a sticker in the rear window that reads “DB Auto.”
Police said he currently has two warrants for his arrest and should be considered armed and dangerous. Anyone who sees his vehicle is urged not to approach it and to call 911.
The investigation is active and ongoing, according to police. Anyone with information is asked to contact Det. Doug Morris at dmorris@tyrone.org.
