ALBANY, Ga. (WALB) — Albany police are searching for at least three more suspects after a Sunday shooting and vehicle pursuit ended with a 15-year-old in custody, officials say.

The incident began around 4 p.m. Sunday when officers responded to Whispering Pines Road after witnesses reported a vehicle firing multiple shots at a residence. No injuries were reported.

Witnesses told police several people were shooting from a burgundy Kia Optima. Investigators used FLOCK camera technology to track the vehicle before Georgia State Patrol troopers located it and initiated a pursuit. The chase ended when the Kia crashed into a building in the 1000 block of South McKinley Street.

The 15-year-old, who was the only person in the vehicle at the time of the crash, was taken into custody and later detained at the Regional Youth Detention Center in Terrell County.

The juvenile faces five counts of aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a person under 18, and theft by receiving stolen property. Investigators determined the Kia had been stolen the night before the shooting.

Police recovered a weapon inside the vehicle. Albany Police Chief Michael Persley said the gun will be tested to determine whether it is linked to Sunday’s shooting or other incidents.

Officials believe at least three additional suspects were in the vehicle at the time of the shooting and are still at large. Chief Persley said it is unclear whether the residence was an intended target.

“We don’t know if the structure that got hit was the intended target,” Chief Persley said. “But we do know there were several subjects who were shooting from the vehicle.”

Police have not determined whether the shooting was gang-related.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Albany Police Department at 229-431-2100, Crime Stoppers at 229-436-8477, or through the APD app. Callers may remain anonymous.
