Hancock County investigating drive-by shooting in Bayside Park

Hancock County deputies are investigating a drive-by shooting that happened in Bayside Park this afternoon.

Sheriff Ricky Adam said the male victim was sitting in a parked car just after noon at the corner of East Neshoba Street and Hancock Drive when another vehicle drove up and a suspect started firing.

One of the rounds went through the trunk and back seat before hitting the victim in the shoulder.

The victim was airlifted to New Orleans with non-life threatening injuries.

Adam said investigators are developing leads and believe the suspect may be from out of state because the victim is associated with others from out of state.

Witnesses on scene described the shooter’s vehicle as a black four-door sedan with tinted windows,  last seen driving north on Hancock Drive.

Anyone with information related to the shooting is asked to call Hancock County Criminal Investigations Division at (228) 466-6910.

This is a developing story and WXXV will update as more information becomes available.
