ASSAULT – AGGRAVATED
On May 26th, officers with the Manning Police Department responded to the area of Dyson St and 2nd St in reference to gunshots being heard. Upon arrival in the area, officers met with the complainant at the roadway. They advised officers that a residence in the 200th block of Dyson St got hit and that two to three subjects ran toward Oakland Ave after the shots were fired.
Officers went to the home and spoke to the resident, who was in the yard and advised that the subjects were shooting from an empty lot next to his home. The resident advised that he could see a light that the subjects were using and could not provide any descriptions. The resident also stated that the side door of his home was where the shots were concentrated.
Officers asked for permission to come on to the property due to previous refusals at this location. Permission was granted and officers observed approximately five bullet entrances in the damaged side door. Officers photographed the damage with their body cameras. Officers spoke with another person residing at the home who advised that only one bullet came into the home. Officers asked for permission to enter the home to photograph and process the damage. The second resident refused entry. The vacant lot, where the shots originated, was searched by officers. They were able to locate one 9mm shell casing by a group of trees. The shell casing was marked and photographed by officers with their body cameras. The casing was then collected and placed into evidence at the Manning Police Department.
