DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- Durham Police investigators are hoping the public can help identify a man suspected of involvement in the shooting of a teenager last week.

A 14-year-old boy was found shot shortly before 5 p.m. Thursday in the 500 block of E. Main Street.

He was rushed to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. The teen's condition has improved and he is considered stable, police said Wednesday.

It appeared the shooting started at an apartment complex and spilled into the roadway some distance away.

Charlitta Burruss was there when shots were fired around East Main and South Elm streets.

"I was sitting in my car, reading some mail like a typical citizen would do," Burruss said. "Shots rang out, cars are scurrying, people are running, the police came from everywhere."

Durham Police said this man may be connected to the shooting of a 14-year-old boy last week.
