The victim, Adrian Jackson, 30, is hospitalized in critical, but stable condition.
HPD Major Assaults & Family Violence Division Officer Z. Brumley reported:
Mr. Jackson, an employee of the U.S. Postal Service, was on foot and delivering mail at the above address when he was shot by an unknown suspect who then fled the scene. Paramedics transported Jackson to the hospital. The suspect fled the scene.
Investigators learned of a discharge of firearms at a nearby business on Bunker Hill Road that involved the same suspect who shot Jackson. No one was injured in the incident when the suspect pointed a gun and attempted to shoot in the direction of an elderly man. Fortunately, the gun did not go off.
A multi-agency investigation was launched with the U.S. Postal Inspection Service, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and the HPD. The extensive investigation led to the identity of Williams as the suspect in the shooting. He was taken into custody on Monday (Dec. 30) and subsequently charged.
