A male victim, 33, was on foot at about 11 p.m. when a man in a white pickup pulled up beside him at 14th Avenue, near 21st Street North, and asked if he wanted to smoke weed. When the victim said no, the suspect shot him and drove away, city public information officer Joe Dillon told The Dispatch.
The victim was airlifted to Jackson for treatment.
