A shooting suspect is still on the loose as Lynn Haven Police ask for help from citizens. Authorities are searching for 19-year-old Travis Ryan Rogers. He is believed to be armed and driving a 2007 Black Toyota.
Officers responded to 1010 Florida Ave. Thursday around 5pm after shots were fired in the street. One of the bullets hit 20-year-old Jacob Erlewine in the neck and jaw as he drove away from the home. He is in stable condition after emergency surgery at Gulf Coast Medical Center, but the rest of the neighbood is shaken.
“I just started to get out of the car and I heard bang bang bang bang!” Said James McConnell, “I really was in a state of disbelief, in the back of my mind I was hoping it wasn’t gunshots.” McConnel was picking up his 3-year-old daughter from a daycare center a block from the incident.
Police and witnesses say two individuals including Erlewine ran from the house into a car, followed by Rogers who allegedly fired shots from a handgun into the vehicle. He and a woman police believe to be his girlfriend then fled the scene. When authorities arrived they found no one in the house, but a shotgun in the yard and several bags of marijuana on the premises.
Police believe it to be a drug deal gone wrong. Neighbors like 50-year-resident Louise Carter say it’s too close for comfort.
“I was sitting there in the chair just resting and I had it leaned back and I was looking there out the door,” she said, “The bullet could’ve come through and hit me I was sitting there in the chair. Some of us could’ve gotten bad hurt.”
Tony Infinger says his wife and their one-year-old child were outside when it happened, and witnessed the whole scene.
“I got a one-year-old little girl, and it don’t need to be happening around my one-year-old or that daycare,” he said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Lynn Haven Police at 265-4111.
