Vicksburg police are looking for a man who was reportedly shot in the leg Thursday during an argument on Locust Street and ran off before police arrived, Sgt. Johnnie Edwards said.
According to police reports, officers responding to a call about 9:25 p.m. about an aggravated assault on the 600 block of Locust arrived to find the reported victim had fled and no blood at the scene.
Edwards said police later learned the man, who was not identified, had outstanding felony warrants from Vicksburg and possibly Clinton Police.
