 A 24-year-old Wilmington man shot in a drive-by attack early Saturday is expected to survive, police said Monday.
The victim was walking in the 300 block of West 14th Street at about 2 a.m. when a car drove by the victim and a suspect inside the car opened fire, striking the victim in the upper torso, according to police.
The victim was taken to a local hospital by friends, said Nancy Pratt, a Long Beach Police Department spokeswoman.
Neither the victim not any other witnesses were able to give a suspect description or a description of the car used in the attack, Pratt said.
The motive for the shooting also remains under investigation, Pratt said.
Anyone who may have witnessed the shooting or has information about the incident is asked to call the Violent Crimes Detail at 562-570-7250.
