A local man was shot in the 900 block of Dixie Street at approximately 12:50 p.m. Monday, according to Police Chief Ross Thompson.
Isaiah Clark , 23, sustained non-life threatening injuries, and police are currently looking for a late model red Chevy Impala/Malibu that may or may not have been struck by gunfire, Thompson said.
" Officers received information of a vehicle leaving the area which was spotted by officers and stopped a short distance away from Dixie Street," Thompson said in a press release. "Officers located 23 year old Isaiah Clark as a passenger in the vehicle. Clark had been shot and was transported to the Great River Medical Center in Blytheville where he received treatment and was transported by ambulance to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis with non-life threatening injuries."
"Preliminary evidence suggests shots exchanged between individuals that Clark is believed to be a party of," Thompson continued. "Drugs have also been located."
