WILKES-BARRE TWP. — Township police are still seeking information regarding Wednesday morning’s shooting on Casey Avenue, and they are looking for the public’s help.
The shooting left two men, who still have not been identified, severely injured Wednesday morning. A passing motorist on Casey Avenue noticed a bloodied man lying next to a bullet-ridden Honda Civic, and another injured man was found inside the vehicle.
Wilkes-Barre Township Police made a post to their Facebook page Thursday evening with additional information, along with a video that apparently shows a vehicle whose driver they’re interested in speaking to.
The post says a late model white sedan — suspected to be a 2019 Nissan Sentra or Altima — was seen leaving the seen, occupied by two black males.
Police are asking any drivers who use a dashboard camera and may have been on Wilkes-Barre Township Boulevard (State Route 309) Southbound near the Interstate 81 ramp at around 7 a.m. Wednesday to check their footage for recordings of the vehicle.
The video shared by police is surveillance footage taken from an unspecified building on Wilkes-Barre Township Boulevard at that time, and shows a white vehicle driving by.
Additionally, anyone with any information on the shooting, the vehicle or its occupants is asked to either message the police department’s Facebook page or call the township’s detectives at 570-208-4635, extension 250.
Police have said the shooting is being investigated as an isolated incident and not a random act of violence. Instead, they believe the perpetrator was targeting the specific victims.
