The St. Joseph Police Department is continuing to investigate a shooting that injured a man early Sunday on Faraon St.

Capt. Jeff Wilson said officers responded around 2:30 a.m. Sunday to the 2700 block of Faraon St. They found a shell casing in the ally behind 2701 Faraon and noticed that a Silver Ford passenger vehicle had been hit several times.

“Upon further investigation officer located a bullet hole in the back of the home at 2701 Faraon,” Wilson said. “That residence was believed to be vacant.”

Around the other side of the building, officers found multiple shell casings in front of the residence located at 2703 Faraon and bullet holes in the front door. Wilson said lights were on at the time, however, officers could not get anyone to answer the door. After checking the home they did not find anyone inside. Wilson said detectives executed a search warrant on the property and seized firearms and drug paraphernalia.

Later in the morning, officers were called out to Mosaic Life Care when a 20-year-old St. Joseph man came into the emergency room with a gunshot wound to the shoulder. Wilson said the man stated he was walking in the area of Faraon when he was hit by a bullet. He was transported by private vehicle to the hospital.

As of 12 p.m. Monday police did not have anyone in custody in connection with the case. Anyone with information is asked to call the TIPS Hotline at (816) 238-TIPS.
