At approximately 0120 hours on July 5th, 2019 the Mansfield Division of Police responded to 1400 West 4th Street, “The Electric Company”, in reference to a shooting incident.
Upon arrival, Mansfield Police observed dozens of people fleeing the bar and numerous vehicles leaving the area from parking lots near the establishment. Officers were advised that at least one shooting victim fled the bar. A short time later, a 24 year old male subject was located at a local hospital seeking treatment for a gunshot wound that had occurred at that location.
The victim was being treated for a non-life threatening wound and advised officers that he had heard shots being fired and was struck as he tried to leave the business.
Major Crimes detectives responded to the scene and several shell casings were recovered from the business. Two vehicles that had evidence of the shooting were towed from the scene and will be processed by the Mansfield Forensic Science Section. Detectives are working diligently to identify those responsible.
Due to the very large crowd and the probability of several witnesses, we are asking that anyone who has information about this incident to please contact Detective Terry Butler at (419) 755-9791 or Sergeant Matt Loughman at (419) 755-9761.
There are no suspects at this time and the investigation remains ongoing.
