LORAIN, Ohio — Police are searching for a male suspect after 55-year-old woman was wounded Sunday in a shooting.

The suspect, identified as Curtis Haller, 51, of Lorain, is considered armed and dangerous, according to police. He was identified as the shooter by the victim, who had been in a 20-year relationship with Haller, police say. The couple had recently split and there was a temporary protection order against Haller.

Officers were called to the 200 block of West 39th Street at about 5:30 p.m. and found the female victim with a gunshot wound. The shooting occurred in the garage of the residence, police say.

Police initially believed Haller was still in the garage and called in SWAT, but a search revealed he was not in the garage or in the residence.

Haller is 6-foot-3 and weighs 180 pounds. Anyone with information can contact Lorain police at 440-204-2100.
