The Livermore Police Department is searching for a suspect who allegedly opened fire Sunday evening in the 4000 block of Lassen Road, injuring a Livermore man.
The block includes hotel Super 8 by Wyndham Livermore, convenience store 7-Eleven as well as childcare and education center Livermore KinderCare.
LPD responded to the reported shooting on Sunday (Aug. 17) at approximately 8:30 p.m, LPD officials said in a statement.
Upon arrival, LPD located a male victim in his 40s who had been shot. He was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment. The victim’s identity was not released.
“Police were here all night walking the ground asking folks (where) they (were) going,” said Rachael Supnet, who said she heard a shot the evening of the incident while at Super 8.
She told Livermore Vine that she knows the victim and that he was shot in the groin.
The suspect fled the scene and LPD is pursuing leads in the ongoing investigation, department officials said.
LPD is asking anyone with information related to the incident to contact the agency at its anonymous tip line at 925-371-4790.
