The rampant crime spree of a man believed to be the Scottsville Shooter has possibly ended.
The man suspected to have been involved in numerous robberies was killed last night while he was fleeing and aimed a firearm at Mi7 officers. According to an Mi7 statement, their Strategic Threat Response Unit received an unexpected lead, a detailed description of the man believed to be the Scottsville Shooter and his current location.
All Mi7 STRU teams were activated and a widespread search ensued along with their counterparts from another security team. It wasn’t long before the silhouette of a man resembling the description of the suspect emerged on Jesmond Road. As teams approached, the suspect fled.
