One person was shot in a string of shootings from late last month.
According to a release from the Galesburg Police Department from over the weekend, officers were dispatched to the 200-block of West Fremont Street at around 8:20 a.m. Sunday, May 28, for a call of earlier property damage.
Upon arrival, the complainant advised officers that sometime during the night, they heard several loud bangs but did not discover anything out of the ordinary. They went on to advise officers that upon waking up they discovered holes in their front door along with shattered glass.
During the investigation into the incident, officers located a shell casing and bullet fragments at the scene confirming that shots had been fired at the residence during the night.
At 10:20 that same morning, officers were dispatched to a disturbance in the 400-block of East Grove Street. A caller advised that there was a subject parked in the driveway wearing a black mask.
That caller refused to provide any additional information.
A short time after that call, officers were advised that shots had been fired in the area of 400 East Grove and that there was now a victim of a gunshot in the 900-block of Greenleaf Street.
Through the investigation, police confirmed that the gunshot victim had been shot on East Grove and fled the scene.
The investigation into the two incidents has revealed that they are related and that they are both isolated. The investigation into both shootings is ongoing and police advise that they have identified person(s) of interest, and arrest warrants are pending.
The Galesburg Police Department was assisted by the Illinois State Police Crime Scene Investigations Division.
