Suspect still being sought in mid-day Cedar Rapids shooting

No damage or injuries were reported after a man fired four gunshots in the direction of another man in southeast Cedar Rapids Monday.

Four shots rang out during the lunch hour Monday. Investigators found four 9-millimeter shell casings in the middle of the 1500 block of Fourth Avenue SE.

Arron Lacey, 20, told police he had just pulled over and gotten out of a car around 12:30 p.m. when a man with a handgun got out of a gray car and shot at him. He said the suspect then got into a white car and went west on Fourth Avenue SE.

Police searched the area but did not find the suspect. He is described as a black male in his 20s with a medium build wearing jeans and a white T-shirt.

Sgt. Cristy Hamblin said about 10 people called police about the incident. She said the tips were encouraging as they try to find the man responsible.
