are probing a fatal shooting in Ewing Township, and police say they do not
believe the shooting was random.
Police were
dispatched Aug. 24 just after 1 a.m. to an apartment on Mid Way Lane on a
report of shots fired.
According
to police, they searched the area and located the victim, identified as
Christopher MacLeod, 30, unresponsive on a grassy patch near his apartment
building. Police say he had been shot multiple times. MacLeod was transported
to Capital Health Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead a few
hours later.
Preliminary
investigation revealed MacLeod was home when there was a knock at his door. He
responded and shots were heard moments later. Detectives located shell casings
in the common walkway area between buildings.
No arrests
have been made. Detectives do not believe it was a random shooting and evidence
suggests MacLeod was the intended target.
Anyone with
information is asked to contact the Mercer County Homicide Task Force at (609)
989-6406.
