I, Lt. Riner responded to WCRMC ED in reference to a male subject who walked in with gun shot wounds. Upon arrival I entered through the main entrance of the ED and noticed a large blood trail leading to victim’s assigned bed. As I entered Bed 1 where the victim was located I noticed he was in pain and had obvious injuries. I met with lead nurse, [REDACTED], who showed the me the wounds on the victim. Each arm had a gunshot wound located on the forearms and the third wound was found posterior, mid to lower back near the spine. The victim, identified as [VICTIM #1], stated he did not know the guy who shot him but he heard several shots.
After the nursing staff finished their assessments and most of the treatment on Mr. [VICTIM #1] I began to interview him more about the incident. He stated he went to Sunrise Apts. [REDACTED] after leaving his mother’s apartment at [REDACTED]. He usually sleeps at [REDACTED] who is rented to [WITNESS #2] and her two children. When he arrived there he noticed a black male on the porch of the apartment. Mr. [VICTIM #1] stayed inside his vehicle and had some words with the suspect. Basically, the suspect wanted to know why he was there and [VICTIM #1] told him he sleeps there and more words were passed and when the suspect told him something bad could happen that’s when the shots began. People in the neighborhood as far as Riddleville Road called 911 to report the shots. They heard approximately 7 rounds being fired at once.
Ofc. Campbell who was at the crime scene stated there was an abandoned vehicle parked in the middle of East Church Street at Sunrise Apartments with bullet holes on the passenger side and blood inside the car. He secured the vehicle as evidence. Mr. [VICTIM #1] told me during our interview that he attempted to drive himself to hospital but realized he would not be able to so he stopped and got out of the car and found the first car that pulled up to give him a ride to the hospital. That car was occupied by [WITNESS #1] and another female who advised me they saw [VICTIM #1] running near his vehicle and asked them to take him to the hospital, which they did. I notified Detective Dudley and he and Detective Ball both responded to Sunrise Apts. Crime scene tape and photos were taken and posted to the incident report. [VICTIM #1] continued to tell me that he did not know why the guy started shooting because he always goes to [REDACTED] with no problems.
After asking several times the suspect’s name he told me that he was brother to [REDACTED] who works at Enmark. [REDACTED] was working at Enmark on this evening and [VICTIM #1] stated he saw her brother at Enmark while he was there but cannot remember his name. He knows for a fact that was him at [REDACTED] and that he was the suspect. After some digging and investigating we found that her brother is Jabren Duggan who has a history of aggravated assault charges. According to county units Mr. Duggan was released from the county jail a few days before this incident. I was able to locate a picture of Mr. Duggan and showed it to Mr. [VICTIM #1] and without any hesitation he positively identified him as the shooter. I passed everything along to Detective Dudley and he continues to investigate the incident. I stood by at the landing zone to assist with the helicopter landing and taking off. We continued to assist the detectives with the investigation.
