MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Police locate a man suspected of attempted murder after he had to go to the hospital to be treated for a gunshot wound to the foot.

Christopher Hawkins.

On Thursday at 2:20 a.m., officers arrived in front of 2180 Hunter Avenue where officers saw a victim lying on his left side in the roadway.

Officers spoke with a witness on the scene who told them that he was selling drinks in front of his home on Hunter Street when he saw a man riding a bike who goes by the name “Chris.” He told officers that another man who goes by the name “Mingo” was with “Chris” traveling west on Hunter Avenue towards 2180 Hunter Avenue.

The witness saw “Chris” jump off the bike and pull out a knife and an unknown type of handgun. “Chris” allegedly fired six times and struck the victim on the left side of his head.

According to the witness, “Chris” left the scene before officers arrived. He gave officers Chris’ address.

Officers later found “Chris” at his aunt’s house. She’d called 911 about her nephew being shot in the right foot. “Chris” was taken to Methodist Central in non-critical condition.

Officers ran the “Chris” alias through NCIC and were able to identify him as Christopher Hawkins.

Hawkins told officers that he was on Springdale and Eldridge when he heard shots being fired. He said he saw the suspect run away with a man who went by the name of “Mingo”.

Hawkins was arrested on July 12.
