Little Rock police are looking for a man who shot a 23-year-old woman Friday at the SuperStop gas station on Roosevelt Road, spokesman Sgt. Cassandra Davis said.

Davis said police responded to a shots-fired report about 12:36 p.m. at the SuperStop, 3100 W. Roosevelt Road. A caller said five shots had been fired.

When police arrived at the scene, they found a woman, later identified as Vallesha Boles, suffering from at least one, non-life-threatening gunshot wound at the parking lot, according to a Little Rock Police Department report.

At 1:30 p.m., investigators collected blood samples and shell casings at the scene, which was secured with crime-scene tape.

Police said the shooter is described as a black man standing about 5-foot-7, between 20 and 30 years old, and was last seen wearing a gray hooded sweatshirt with a stripe down the sleeve.

He was last seen driving a gold Oldsmobile.
