Officer P. Smith was on routine patrol when he heard at least four gunshots fired in the area around 8:30 p.m., Chief Chuck Hasty said.
In a statement Hasty said several officers responded and were flagged down by the victim. The victim told officers Sakwon Artavas Bowser, 20, allegedly fired shots while outside. The victim took refuge inside.
A vehicle was struck and damaged but no one was injured.
Officer N. Velazquez obtained warrants on Bowser for attempted murder and injury to property.
Hasty said there is an apparent dispute between Bowser and the victim. He declined to elaborate.
Bowser, who tends to frequent areas of South Rosemary and Southgate, should be considered armed and dangerous, Hasty said.
Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Lieutenant C.L. Vaught at 252-533-2819 or Crimestoppers at 252-583-4444.
Hasty said Bowser is encouraged to surrender and take care of the matter.
