HPD patrol officers responded to a verbal altercation, which later became a shooting at a hotel at the above address. The suspect was attending a birthday party at the hotel when he got into an argument with a juvenile male. The adults present asked the suspect to leave. He stated he did not have to leave and wanted to fight in the parking lot. An adult male stated the suspect kept making movements as if he had a firearm. The adult male, Ms. Grey and the juvenile male then walked away from the suspect to re-enter the hotel. As the suspect drove away in his vehicle, he fired multiple shots. Ms. Grey was struck in the right knee. The juvenile victim was struck in the right leg. Paramedics transported both victims to the hospital. The adult male was not injured.
