A Thursday night domestic call in which shots were fired into the air and a woman was assaulted has the Roanoke Rapids Police Department looking for a 35-year-old man.

Chief Shane Guyant said warrants have been obtained for the arrest of Mychal Iquan Bynum for assault on a female, assault by pointing a gun, going armed to the terror of the people and discharging a weapon in the city limits.

Bynum is from Roanoke Rapids and as of this report has not been apprehended. Guyant said he was last seen armed with a handgun and should be considered armed and dangerous.

The warrants stem from a call around 11 p.m. in the 700 block of Wood Street that shots were being fired.

Officers located several witnesses and a victim. They determined an altercation between family members turned physical. A man later identified as Bynum reportedly got a handgun and fired numerous rounds into the air.
