Police: July 6 east-side shooting under active investigation; license-plate reader captured vehicle but PTZ camera was down
Police staff told the Fire and Police Commission that an attempted murder investigation from July 6, 2025, on the city’s east side remains active and detectives have developed leads that may link a suspected offender to crimes in another municipality.
The department said automated license-plate-reader (ALPR) cameras supplied by Flock captured the offending vehicle’s plate and an image, but Condor PTZ surveillance cameras in the area were down and did not record the incident. Staff said the Condor equipment in that location was part of an early installation that became obsolete; the vendor later replaced it with newer units under the department’s contract.
The department issued a press release about the shooting and said detectives are following “very good potential leads” and working to connect evidence across jurisdictions. The investigation is ongoing and no arrests were reported at the meeting.
Police staff declined to provide further operational details at the commission meeting.
Ending: The department emphasized the ALPR capture as a useful lead while noting the loss of PTZ footage limited their available video evidence. Detectives continue follow-up with other agencies and will update the commission when the investigation yields formal charges or additional public details.
