PORTSMOUTH, Va. (WAVY) — Police say they arrested a 19-year-old man accused in a shooting that injured 3 people in Portsmouth.
Portsmouth police say they tracked down 19-year-old Tyquan Blunt on Tuesday, June 7. He has been charged with possession of a firearm by a felon, giving false information to mislead police, and discharging a weapon across a roadway.
Police say Blunt is affiliated with a gang.
The charges stem from a shooting on March 23 that injured three people. Police got the call for the shooting just before 11 a.m. that day and said all three victims, two men and one woman, were in stable condition and were being treated at a local hospital.
Images from the scene showed police blocking off the streets and crime tape at BP gas station at the intersection.
Someone who works nearby told WAVY’s Marielena Balouris that there was a car turning from Deep Creek onto Frederick when the shooting started. He said that the car was riddled with bullets and eventually crashed into a pole.
