The sedan fled the area "at a high rate of speed," but the gunman remained on the scene, Amoroso said.

Officers found a bullet hole in the wall of one of the occupied, nearby apartments consistent with being involved in the incident.

The victim was later found unharmed, and the people in the apartment were also unharmed.
