According to SPPD, officers arriving on-scene found a 21 year-old, seated in a white F-150 pick-up truck. He suffered a gunshot wound to the upper body and was transported to Bayfront Health St. Petersburg.

Initial medical reports indicated that wound may have been cause by a starter pistol firing blanks, however during a CT scan a bullet was located and the victim will be going into surgery. Medical staff do not believe his condition is life threatening at this time.

The suspects involved are believed to be two black males last seen leaving the area in a white sedan, possibly a Nissan. Investigator also report that at this time the shooting appears to have drug overtones.
