According to preliminary information from the sheriff’s office, one male was shot in the leg, and another male suffered a gunshot wound to the face. Both were hospitalized with injuries described as non-life-threatening.
Witnesses reported seeing four males in black sweatshirts involved in the shooting, BCSO said.
One person, identified as Gerrell Jenkins, was seen running through a nearby field toward the 5800 block of Glacier Sun and was later found after breaking a rear glass door to enter a home, BCSO said.
Jenkins had multiple gunshot wounds and was hospitalized. BCSO said Jenkins is an active gang member.
Prince Boyd II, 18, was also struck by gunfire, BCSO said.
According to BCSO, surveillance video from the store showed Jenkins entering and engaging in a shootout with Boyd and others.
“The shooting is preliminarily believed to have stemmed from gang activity,” BCSO said Monday.
Boyd faces a charge of unlawful carry of a weapon in prohibited places.
Jenkins faces the following charges:
- Aggravated assault with a deadly weapon
- Deadly conduct
- Burglary of a habitation
- Unlawful carry of a weapon in prohibited places
Because Jenkins is still hospitalized, BCSO said his mugshot is not available as of Monday night.
“Investigators continue to follow leads to identify and locate additional suspects connected to this shooting,” BCSO said.
Anyone with information on the shooting is urged to call BCSO at 210-335-6000.
