A van stolen in the aftermath of a Sunday night shooting in the South Rosemary area in which one person was injured was recovered Monday night, the Roanoke Rapids Police Department reported.

Chief Bobby Martin said the van was found in the area of Emery Street shortly after 8 p.m. There was no one in the vicinity of the vehicle.

Martin said this morning investigators believe the shooter is still in the area. Motive remains unclear, he said.

The shooting occurred shortly after 9 p.m. Sunday in the parking lot of the South Rosemary Family Dollar.

Officers discovered a vehicle had been shot multiple times and a woman shot in the foot. She was taken to a hospital for treatment of an injury which was not considered to be life-threatening.

Martin said Monday the woman is not believed to be the intended target of the shooting.

During the investigation shots were fired in front of Bobby’s, which is also located in the South Rosemary area. Officers responded and collected spent shell casings in the road.
