- The next shooting occurred just after 12:30 a.m. Thursday on University Blvd near Porter Street. Unknown suspects fired shots into a vehicle, wounding a man inside. The victim was transported by private and is listed in critical condition.
- Another shooting occurred just after 2:30 a.m. in the 1000 block of Lanier Avenue when a man was wounded by several shots fired into a home. The victim was transported and last listed as stable, though his condition is unknown.
