A suspect has been arrested and charged with attempted murder in the shooting yesterday on Thorpe Street in Batavia.
Being held without bail is Tyshawn King 24, of Maple Street, Batavia.
King is also charged with assault in the first degree.
The shooting was discovered by Batavia police officers after receiving a complaint around 4:50 p.m. of a fight on Thorpe Street.
Upon arrival, officers learned that there had been a shooting and the victim had gone to a house on Evans Street to seek medical attention.
Assistant Chief Todd Crossett said investigators still don't know what started the fight.
Two other people were detained yesterday and after being questioned were released.
The victim, who was shot in the hand and abdomen, is in stable condition at ECMC after surgery last night and is alert and able to talk, Crossett said.
Batavia PD thanked community members for assisting in the investigation.
People in the area of Thorpe and Maple pointed police to the residence where the suspect fled, at the corner of Thorpe and Maple, and shared information about what they saw.
"To them, it is very generic information, but in the big scope of things, when we put the pieces together, it really helps us," Crossett said.
