“Detectives are currently following up on leads attempting to identify the suspect,” McGraw said.
No arrests had been made in this aggravated assault case Sunday.
- A 24-year-old man arrived at South Georgia Medical Center with a gunshot wound Sunday morning, according to Valdosta police.
At approximately 2:50 a.m., Anthony Tong arrived at SGMC to be treated for “a gunshot wound to an extremity,” Lt. McGraw said.
“Valdosta Police Department officers responded to the hospital and spoke with Tong who stated he received the gunshot wound while in the parking lot of Andy’s Wings and Things,” McGraw said.
Police also went to the parking lot of the Lake Park Road establishment, where they spoke to several people.
“It appears that a crowd was outside of the business when several shots went off with one striking Tong,” McGraw said.
No arrests had been reported Sunday. Police are following leads to identify the offender in this aggravated assault case.
McGraw emphasized that none of these cases are considered related to one another.
Police ask anyone having information regarding these cases to contact Valdosta Police Department Investigations Unit, (229) 293-3145; or to call anonymously on the crime-tip line, (229) 293-3091.
