Suspect sought in downtown Fayetteville pellet gun shooting

FAYETTEVILLE (WTVD) -- Authorities in Fayetteville are looking for a suspect who, they say, shot a woman with a pellet gun while she was outside a downtown restaurant earlier this month.

Around 10:20 p.m. on July 7, police say a 53-year-old woman was standing outside of Charley's Pub on Person Street when she heard an air powered sound and immediately felt a sharp pain in her shoulder.

The woman was taken to Cape Fear Valley Medical Center, where it was discovered that she had been shot by a pellet gun.

Detectives were able to get surveillance video that showed the suspect's vehicle as it drove along Person Street just before and after the shooting.

Authorities said there have been no similar incidents reported since the incident.
