The Gainesville Police Department have connected three drive-by shootings Wednesday to one vehicle, a 2000-2005 Buick LeSabre.

A white 2000-2005 Buick LeSabre with tinted windows is the target of Gainesville police, who say it was the vehicle used in three connected drive-by shootings that injured two people Wednesday.

GPD spokesman Officer Ben Tobias said the car was identified by witnesses and was caught on surveillance video, including footage from a convenience store on the corner of Waldo Road and East University Avenue. The shootings occurred in that vicinity.

“We have witnesses who are identifying that as the car,” Tobias said Thursday afternoon. “We have some (witnesses) who are cooperating and some who are not.”

Tobias said the surveillance video did not show the Buick's license tag. Detectives are going through a database to try to find registered owners of LeSabres from that time period.

The motive for the shootings has not been determined, but police do not believe the victims were chosen at random.

Police are not releasing the victims’ names for their safety, according to GPD news release.

Police gave this account of the Wednesday shootings:

• At about 2 a.m. two cars were shot at 907 NW Fourth Place. Each car was occupied by a man, but neither were shot.

• At 3:22 a.m. one car was shot at 300 NE 11th St. A man and woman were in the car, and the woman was shot in the neck, suffering minor injuries.

• At 3:45 a.m. two cars were shot at 211 SW Sixth Ave. One car was occupied by a man, who was shot several times and is in critical condition, and a woman, who was not shot. The other car was unoccupied.
