Police are searching for the man who shot three people in Point Breeze.
At 12:37 p.m. Aug. 7, authorities responded to the area of 20th and Morris streets for a report of gunshots and located a crime scene yet no victims, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Over the next hour, the complainants sought medical attention, with two males arriving via private auto at Methodist Hospital. The first received treatment for a graze wound to his left leg, and the second sustained a gunshot wound to his stomach that required transport to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition. The final victim arrived at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania with a graze wound to her left ankle and left after receiving treatment.
The complainants told authorities they were near 20th and Morris streets when the violence, for which police have no motive, occurred. They described the shooter as a black male with small dreadlocks; wearing a white T-shirt that partially covered his face; and driving a blue sedan, possibly a Lincoln MKZ.
