THOMASVILLE, Ga. — Authorities continue to look for a man wanted in questioning about a Tuesday evening shooting on Wright Street.
According to reports, Thomasville Police officers were dispatched to the Wright and Hopkins street area after residents said they heard gunshots. Residents waved down officers and directed them to 709 Wright St., where they found a man, identified as Akeilous Hardy, 32. Hardy had been shot in the head, and a man was performing CPR on Hardy.
The scene was very chaotic as officers arrived, said Maj. Wade Glover, TPD information officer.
Officers took over and continued CPR until EMS arrived to take Hardy to Archbold Memorial Hospital, where he is in critical condition.
Authorities are looking for Micharious Johnson, who is a possible suspect in the shooting, Glover said.
“We’re still interviewing witnesses who were at the scene,” Glover said.
Authorities are asking for anyone with any information about the shooting to call the TPD Criminal Investigations Division at 227-3302 or the GBI at 225-4090. The GBI is aiding in the investigation.
