Authorities then found the shooting scene at the location, he said. Crime scene tape blocked off an alleyway and a small concrete area between South Cedar and South Pine streets Tuesday.

McClanahan said the shooting victim did not have life-threatening injuries.

McClanahan described the shooter as a black male wearing a red bandanna over his face. He said the suspect is about 5 feet, 3 inches tall. He reportedly left the scene in a lime-green Nissan Altima.
