Police find shell casing in Cascade Park car lot

A 19-year-old man reported being shot Wednesday night by the baseball fields in Cascade Park, Bloomington Police Department Lt. David Drake said. 

The man said he was meeting his ex-girlfriend at 10:30 p.m. at the park to exchange money the woman owed him. After getting in an argument, the woman drove off and later texted him to meet back at the baseball fields, Drake said.

While the couple sorted out the money issues at the park, a four-door, white vehicle pulled into the parking lot, he said. Two unknown males exited, and one man raised a handgun at the ex-boyfriend.

The ex-boyfriend ran into the woods where he heard a shot fired and the words “You’re lucky that I didn’t hit you,” Drake said.

When police arrived on the scene they found a nine millimeter shell casing in the parking lot, Drake said.
