BRIDGETON — A 16-year-old boy was found shot in a liquor store parking lot Sunday night, according to city police.

The juvenile told police that he was selling an item over social media and went to meet the potential buyers, who then got into a fight with him.

He was shot in the chest and flown to Christiana Hospital in Delaware, according to authorities, where he is in stable condition.

The incident occurred at 7:42 p.m. in a liquor store parking lot on North Pearl Street.

Police describe the two suspects as light-skinned black teenagers, between 5-foot-5-inches tall and 5-foot-7-inches tall, and wearing hooded sweatshirts — one black and one gray.

Both suspects fled on foot before police arrived.

Surveillance footage from area businesses captured images of the suspects, police said.

Anyone with information about the shooting should contact Det. Miguel Martinez of the Bridgeton Police Department's Criminal Investigation Bureau at 856-451-0033.
