Police reported non-fatal injuries for a male found shot multiple times in Newark's West Ward Tuesday. 

A ShotSpotter device activated and alerted police of a shooting in the vicinity of Maybaum and Tremont avenues just before 5:40 p.m. 

Units arrived and began an intense search for a victim after officers found shell casings and bloodstains on the sidewalk. 

The injured was eventually located, suffering bullet wounds in his hand and leg but is expected to recover. 

Police are looking for a dark-colored Nissan that was observed fleeing the shooting scene and is reportedly connected to the shooting.
