Davon Andre Dreddon Jr, 19, of Columbia, and a 17-year-old girl got into a fight with another individual that resulted in Dredden firing multiple shots at the victim on 8th Street around 1 p.m. Monday, April 11, Laurel police said.

Dredden fled the scene but was later captured with a gun, police said.

The victim was taken to a local hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening, police said. There were no other injuries.
