A shooting Tuesday night left one person dead and sent another to the hospital.

A release from Cedar Rapids police spokesperson Greg Buelow said officers were called to the 3000 block of J Street SW at 9:34 p.m.

When a KCRG-TV9 crew arrived on the scene, police had blocked off an area of the Cedar Valley Townhomes complex.

Officers arrived to find two victims with gunshot wounds in the parking lot of the complex, Buelow said.

One, identified as 25-year-old Joseph Perkins, from Chicago, was pronounced dead at the scene. Another, identified only as a 21-year-old male, was shot in the leg and taken to an unspecified hospital for treatment.

Witnesses told TV9 the injured person limped out from behind one of the buildings as police arrived. Mason Welsh, who lives at the complex, said he was the first to reach the victim after he heard the shots. He said a number of people tried to help Perkins, with the second victim emerging later.

"A girl started giving CPR. After police showed up, a guy limped up saying he was shot in the leg," Welsh said.

Larry Billings, another resident, said he had his family drop to the floor as soon as he heard the shots outside.

"Kids now days think they're tough and they think this is the O.K. Corral so they can go shoot up anything they want, it's just crazy," Billings said.

Cedar Rapids Police Chief Wayne Jerman said some witnesses saw a vehicle leave the scene but descriptions vary so police haven't put out that information for the public yet. He did say police are looking for more than one suspect in addition to the shooter.

"We do know the shooter got into a vehicle...and the vehicle was occupied by at least two other subjects (besides the shooter) and possibly there was even a fourth person involved," Jerman said.

The homicide is the city's first in 2016, Buelow said, after Cedar Rapids saw six cases in 2015. The case of 28-year-old Marcus McCaskill, who died four days after being shot at a house party last March, is the only homicide investigation from last year that remains unsolved, Buelow said.

Police remained at the scene throughout the night wrapping up just before 11:00 Wednesday morning.
