The Greenwood Police Department is seeking information on a Tuesday night shooting on West Henry Street that left a Greenwood man wounded.
“We haven’t had anyone to come forward,” Deputy Police Chief Huntley Nevels said this morning.
The shooting happened around 11:15 p.m. in the 500 block of West Henry Street. When officers responded to a call of shots fired, they came upon a parked vehicle with two men inside.
The passenger, identified as Cordarious Robinson, 21, 505 Kinney St., was bleeding from a gunshot wound to the head, Nevels said.
Robinson was taken by ambulance to Greenwood Leflore Hospital and later was airlifted to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson.
Nevels said Robinson was in stable condition at UMMC this morning.
Nevels said the motive for the shooting appeared to be robbery.
He said Robinson and the driver, who was unharmed, were approached by two men wearing masks and brandishing handguns. Nevels declined to identify the driver.
The men demanded money, and Robinson was shot while trying to get his wallet out, Nevels said.
The suspects haven’t been identified because Robinson and the other victim didn’t know them, Nevels said.
The deputy chief asked for the community to provide any tips to Greenwood-Leflore-Carroll Crime Stoppers Inc. at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
