A drive-by shooting sent three men to the hospital Friday night.

Police responded to the report of the shooting at 11:07 p.m. Friday in the 3800 block of Murvon Street in Shreveport.

Three men were reportedly standing in the yard of a residence when someone in a dark colored SUV fired several shots at them.

All three men were hit. Robert Palm, 57, and Orson L. Gibson, Jr., 28, were both taken to University Health via ambulance for treatment. The third victim, Salinto Davis, 37, arrived at University Health via private vehicle. Davis advised authorities he had also been present at the Murvon Street shooting.

Davis and Gibson were treated and released. Palm remains hospitalized, but is expected to survive.

Police say the dark colored SUV traveled east from the scene of the shooting and was last seen headed toward Jewella Avenue.

Multiple shell casings were discovered along the road and evidence of suspected drug use was found in the yard where the three men were shot.

No suspects have been identified. However, investigators are working to find those responsible for this crime.
