LEWISTON, Maine — A Lewiston man accused of shooting another man three times over the holiday weekend has been charged by police while in the hospital.
An arrest warrant was issued Tuesday for Noor Ali Hussien, who faces two charges of elevated aggravated assault and reckless conduct with a firearm.
The 24-year-old was allegedly involved in an altercation Sunday afternoon on Lisbon Street during which he was stabbed. Another man, identified Tuesday as Jarious Teofilo of Lewiston, was shot multiple times.
Hussein and Teofilo knew each other. Police said one of the two is the current boyfriend of a local woman, with whom the other had previously been involved in a relationship. It was not revealed which of the two was the current boyfriend, but police did say the altercation was not a random act of violence.
Teofilo, 25, remained hospitalized Tuesday. Police said his condition Sunday was "critical" with three gunshot wounds to the chest, stomach and legs.
Hussein was expected to recover from his stab wounds. An initial court appearance was imminent pending his anticipated release.
The department's investigation was ongoing Tuesday. Further charges weren't ruled out, and no additional suspects were being sought.
Anyone who may have witnessed the incident was asked to contact Lewiston Police Department Detective Tyler Michaud at 207-513-3001 x 3316.
