Authorities are searching for man wanted in connection with a shooting Sunday in Pine Bluff that injured a man.

Jeremiah Hubbard-Thomas, 20, will face charges of first-degree battery and five counts of committing a terroristic act, the Pine Bluff Police Department said.

The shooting happened about 1:30 p.m. in the area of Belmont Drive and Boston Avenue, authorities said. The victim told investigators he was riding in a vehicle with three other adults and a baby when he saw Hubbard-Thomas near a park.

The victim said he spoke with Hubbard-Thomas before Hubbard-Thomas pulled out a handgun and opened fire on the car, shooting once through the passenger-side door, police said in a report. The victim was struck in the right leg.

Thomas is described as a black man who stands about 5-foot-8 with black hair and brown eyes. He should be considered armed and dangerous, police warned.
