The Marion Police Department is investigating the shooting of two males early Tuesday morning outside of a local bar. They are searching for a suspect that they call “armed and dangerous.”
At about 1:29am on Tuesday, March 5, 2014, officers responded to the parking lot of the Timeout Bar on Davids Street for the report of a shooting. When officers arrived, they found two males with gunshot wounds.
Police say the injuries were not life threatening and the two victims were transported to Columbus area hospitals.
Investigators say the shooting suspect is described as a black male, early to mid 30’s, about 6’-6’2” tall, thin build, light goatee, wearing jeans with a white long-sleeve shirt with black lettering, and a black and white ball cap.
It was discovered during the investigation that the black male is known as “T” and is possibly from the Toledo area. It is believed that he has recently been staying in the Marion area. The suspect was accompanied by a white female. Police say they fled the scene in a white, older model 4 door car with West Virginia license plates.
This subject should be considered armed and dangerous. If you encounter him, do not approach him and call 911. If you have any information, you can call the Investigative Bureau at 740-387-2222 or you can call the TIPS Line to remain anonymous at 740-375-TIPS.
