On Thursday, July 8th, at 12:45 a.m., officers responded to Provena Hospital to take a report regarding a victim of a shooting.  Upon arrival, it was determined that the 24 year old male victim was shot near the intersection of Garwood and Walnut in Champaign. 

The victim stated he was walking on Garwood, approaching the intersection with Walnut, when a male subject, armed with a revolver, walked toward him and told him to put his hands up.  The victim tried to run, and the suspect fired two to three shots in his direction, striking him in the buttocks and thigh.  The victim went to a nearby relative's house to seek help, and was taken to Provena Hospital for treatment. 

The suspect is described as an unknown race male, unknown age, undetermined height and weight, last seen wearing a black mask over his face, a black shirt and black pants, and armed with a revolver.
