Officers say the shooter is still at large. They are asking for help to find a light gray or silver Cadillac CTS that most likely has rear passenger side damage.
Cops say someone inside the Cadillac is likely involved with the shooting, after it pulled up alongside a parked black van that had the victim inside.
