More information has been released regarding a shooting in the city that initially left a man in critical condition.

The Jamestown Police Department said it has recovered the vehicle involved in Saturday’s shooting, which occurred near the intersection of Hazzard Street and Newland Avenue around 10:40 p.m. Police say a man was driving south on Hazzard when multiple rounds were fired from a dark-colored sedan that had pulled up beside him.

The victim, who was found by officers lying in the road next to his vehicle, was taken to UPMC Chautauqua and underwent surgery. He was then transferred to an Erie, Pa., hospital for further treatment.

Capt. Robert Samuelson of the Jamestown Police Department on Wednesday said the victim has been upgraded to serious, but stable condition. He remains at UPMC Hamot in a medically induced coma.

Investigators were able to track the suspect’s vehicle, a rented black 2020 Nissan Altima that was found parked behind a condemned home on Broadhead Avenue in Jamestown. Police have been attempting to locate the shooter based off of who rented the vehicle.

Samuelson said police believe the victim and suspect may have been involved in a previous altercation shortly before shots were fired near Hazzard and Newland. “We have reason to believe something else may have happened just prior to the shooting,” he said, noting that the altercation at an unknown location may also have involved shots being fired.

“We want to know if anyone has information on what may have happened earlier,” he continued.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Jamestown Police Department at 483-7537, through the anonymous tip line at 483-8477 (TIPS) or via the Tips 411 cellphone app. All tips are kept confidential.
