SPRINGFIELD

— A police captain reached Friday evening said he had no update on the condition of the teenager who was

shot outside a doughnut shop

in the city's South End around 1:30 p.m.

Authorities said they were searching for two suspects – a black man and a white or Hispanic man, both of whom were wearing white T-shirts – who were last seen running east on Morris Street after shooting a 19-year-old man in the parking lot of the Dunkin' Donuts at 805 Main St.

"It appears there was an argument between (the) victim and two suspects prior to the shooting," said Sgt. John Delaney, a Springfield Police Department spokesman.

"The victim was the intended target," Delaney said. He was shot twice – once in the back, and once in the elbow.

The shooting was reported at 1:30 p.m., but it took about a dozen more minutes for an ambulance to reach the victim, according to Springfield dispatch audio records. Detective Greg McCain provided first aid to the victim while waiting for medical personnel to arrive on scene.

Witnesses provided police with varying descriptions of the assailants and their direction of travel. The final description that was broadcast to police units indicated both men were wearing white T-shirts, at least one of which was found discarded on Morris Street.

That's also the area were other "items of interest" were found, according to police, who began a K-9 track extending to Central and Maple streets. At 2:18 p.m., a K-9 officer reported that his dog lost the suspects' scent in the area of 270 Maple St.

The investigation also led police to check area surveillance cameras, including one at 188 Maple St., a building at the corner of Maple and Central streets, to see if the suspects were caught on camera.

Detectives under the command of Capt. Trent Duda are handling the shooting investigation. Anyone with information about the crime is asked to "Text-a-Tip" or call the Springfield Police Major Crimes Unit at 413-787-6355.
