Authorities in Newark seek the public’s help locating Eric D. James, 57, of Newark, who is wanted for questioning about an aggravated assault shooting on February 6.
Newark Public Safety Director Emanuel Miranda Sr. stated the shooting occurred at Georgia King Village, an apartment complex where police officers responded and found a victim suffering from a gunshot wound to his abdomen and an area near his buttocks.
Several gunshots were fired at approximately 9:42 p.m. as the injured victim talked with another man in the entryway of the complex, located in the 200 block of Georgia King Village, Newark officials said. 
According to Newark officials, that man, whose snow boot was grazed by the gunfire, refused medical treatment after falling down a staircase. The gunshot victim was taken to University Hospital.
Police officers secured the scene and located three 9mm shell casings near the staircase and entryway at the complex, police say.
Newark officials stated that James is described as 6’1,” and 220 pounds.
Director Miranda urges anyone with information on James' whereabouts to call the Police Division’s 24-hour Crime Stopper tip line at 1-877-NWK-TIPS (1-877-695-8477).
