Athens-Clarke County police are asking for help to identify suspects in a weekend drive-by shooting that injured a teenager.
Police say someone fired multiple shots at a residence in the 1900 block of Winterville Road just after midnight on Saturday, September 23. A 16-year-old girl inside the residence was struck in the hand.
“The injury was minor and did not require medical transport,” says Athens-Clarke County Police Department spokesperson Lt. Jody Thompson.
She says investigating officers located approximately 31 spent shell casings from two different calibers at the scene.
Two bullet holes, believed to be associated with this incident, were found at a neighboring residence. The residence was not occupied at the time of the shooting, Thompson says.
The investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact Lieutenant Barnett at 762-400-7318 or at [email protected].
