LEWISTON, Maine — Police are investigating a report of shots fired near Bartlett and Pine streets on Wednesday night.
Lewiston Police Department spokesman Derrick St. Laurent said the incident happened a little after 9 p.m. Police said they believe there was more than one shooter, and they may have been shooting back and forth at each other due to “ongoing beef.”
On Monday, St. Laurent told NEWS CENTER Maine that police had a description of the vehicle from a witness and private and city surveillance cameras. They spotted the car along Washington Ave. on the day of the shooting incident and informed Lewiston police, who obtained a search warrant. Lewiston police are continuing to process the vehicle for evidence.
Officials do not believe anyone was injured in the shooting, and they have not had any reports from local hospitals of injuries that would be related to this case.
Police said they are following up on several leads with interviews and reviewing security videos from nearby landlords.
St. Laurent said police are not providing any physical descriptions or information about any potential vehicles involved to the public at this time.
Authorities ask anyone with information on this case to contact the Lewiston Police Department at 207-795-9010.
