"All we know is that there was a confrontation between the victim that was shot and perhaps one or more suspects, and as a result someone took out a gun and shot him and he was hit at least twice, and from there, he went home," said McArthur. 

Officers canvassed the area and spoke with at least one witness and are trying to develop leads on the suspect or suspects, he said.
