UPDATE:

HARRISBURG -- A man is in critical condition after he was found with multiple gunshot wounds in a city alley Thursday.

Harrisburg Police Captain Gabriel Olivera described the victim as a Hispanic man in his 30s and said local medical personnel "are working on him" after he was taken from the scene near S. 15 and Berryhill streets. Police did not have any additional information on the man's condition as of 11 a.m. Thursday.

City detectives placed at least eight evidence markers in Ella Alley where the man was found at about 9:30 a.m. Thursday, and police placed more in the street as they investigated the shooting. Police, Olivera said, are in the early stages of their investigation and are asking for the public's help after a "dark colored" SUV reportedly drove from the area.

The SUV may be dark blue or black and was last reported driving the wrong way on Catherine Street. Police "believe suspects may have been in that vehicle," Olivera said, adding that police are not sure how many people may have been involved in the incident.

Larry Hall, 51, spoke with investigators at the scene after he said he heard four gunshots and saw an SUV take off from the area.

"I was about to go to sleep after getting back from work when I heard the shots and saw the SUV fly by," Hall said. "The first thing I did was jump up and check on the kids. My nieces live right across the street there. Right here with all of this."

Lizzie Kile, 22, said at the scene that she had lived nearby but recently moved because of what she saw as a growth in area crime.

"It needs to stop for real because it's only seven days [into the year] and here's a third attempted homicide? It's crazy. I had to get out of these streets. I have a child," Kile said.

Investigators are unsure how many people were in the suspect vehicle. Olivera said it is also too early to say whether the incident could be classified as a drive-by shooting.

Investigators are working to determine what people know and what they may have seen, but "everything is fairly fresh," which leaves police with little information to release, Olivera said. Police are expected to release additional information as they establish more facts related to the investigation.

Olivera could confidently say, though, that the daylight shooting is a concern for city police.

"We just started the new year and this is another shooting where someone's been critically injured. It is a burden on the citizens to have this kind of things happen here," he said. "We will be investigating this just as thoroughly as we investigate anything else."

Anyone with information is asked to call the city police dispatch at 717-558-6900 and ask for a city detective.
