An Aliceville, Alabama, man suffered gunshot wounds in a drive-by on Bluecutt Road early Saturday.
Police are still seeking a suspect, according to a Columbus Police Department press release.
The 29-year-old victim had just left the Yo’Bar nightclub and was driving toward Military Road near the main office of the Columbus Post Office just after midnight. A car with the shooter inside pulled up beside the victim’s and opened fire before driving away.
Officers found 10 bullet holes in the victim’s car, the press release said.
“The victim told our investigators that there was no argument or confrontation between him and anyone else,” Police Chief Fred Shelton said. “At this time we don’t have a vehicle or suspect description since no one else saw anything. We are asking the public to help us and call us if they know anything.”
The victim required emergency surgery overnight and police do not know his current condition. Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to contact Golden Triangle Crime Stoppers at 800-530-7151 or submit a tip through the P3 app.
