The victim was later located at a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Less than 30 minutes later, a vehicle engulfed in flames was found in the 17000-block of 30A Avenue.

“Although it is likely related to the shooting, further investigation is required to conclusively link to two incidents.”
