Lawmen are searching for a 22-year-man in connection with a weekend shooting at a Fairfield mall.

Christopher DeAntwon Davis is charged with attempted murder. He remains at large, and is believed to be in the western section of Birmingham, said Fairfield police Chief Leon Davis.

The shooting happened about 7 p.m. Friday inside Western Hills Mall just outside the Dr. Denim store. A 21-year-old man was shot in the leg and a 5-year-old boy grazed in the neck. Three other people were injured by flying debris. None of the injuries were life-threatening.

The police chief said the shooting stemmed from a long-standing feud between Davis and the 21-year-old victim. Police believe that victim was armed and fired back at Davis. Investigators recovered a gun at the scene.

The two had an altercation earlier, and police believe Davis went away and returned to shoot the victim. A man with gunshot wounds showed up at a hospital shortly after, however he was treated and released. The chief said that man was Davis.

The chief said the suspect's bond is set at $60,000 once he is captured. Additional charges are expected.

Anyone with information on Davis' whereabouts is asked to call Fairfield police at 205-786-4111.
