Mr. Byrd and a female dropped off a male (suspect) in a parking lot at the above address.  The male hit one of his hands on the car door and got angry at Byrd and the woman.  At that time, the male fired shots at the vehicle and struck Byrd at least two times. 

The suspect, described only as a black male, then fled the scene.  Paramedics were called and transported Byrd to the hospital.
