Police are still looking for a man who reportedly shot his brother at a Mississippi campground Sunday.
The Warren County Sheriff’s Office is looking for information on a suspect wanted for aggravated assault following a shooting at the Battlefield Campground on Sunday.
The suspect was identified as 47-year-old Michael Molinari.
Deputies responded to reports of a shooting at the campground in the 4400 block of I-20 Frontage Road just after 3 p.m. on Sunday. Initial reports indicated that two brothers had been involved in an argument.
According to sheriff’s office reports, a handgun was produced and the suspect, now thought to be Molinari, allegedly shot the victim in the leg with non-life-threatening injuries. Molinari left the scene before law enforcement arrived.
The victim was transported to Merit Health River Region for treatment.
Molinari is a white male who is approximately 5 feet, 10 inches tall and weighs 180 pounds. He was last seen driving a 2006 Honda Ridgeline.
Molinari is not thought to be armed, as the weapon used in the alleged shooting was recovered at the scene.
