Bowling Green Police searching for suspect accused of attempted murder
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio (WTVG) – Bowling Green Police are searching for a 44-year-old man who allegedly fired shots into an apartment.
According to police, officers are looking for Tyson Wells, of Bloomington, Indiana, after receiving two separate reports of Wells slashing tires and firing shots into a home on Tuesday. Both incidents occurred in different locations.
While officers were initially responding to a call regarding slashed tires in the 1000 block of S. Main St., a second call came in regarding shots being fired in the 1000 block of Varsity West Road. Upon arrival at the second location, officers determined that the two incidents were related.
“We don’t believe this was a random act of violence. We believe this was targeted,” said Lt. Adam Skaff with Bowling Green Police.
Bowling Green police said the resident at Varsity West Rd. stated that Wells attempted to enter the apartment and when confronted Wells discharged a firearm into the building.
13abc knocked on the door of the apartment and a man and woman answered. The woman, who asked not to be identified, said she was previously in a five month relationship with Wells.
“This wasn’t a drug deal gone bad or a random home invasion,” said Lt. Skaff. “We believe Mr. Wells specifically went to that location to confront the victim in this case.”
No one was struck during the incident and Wells fled the scene in a dark-colored pick-up truck. Officers later located the vehicle in the Fremont area.
“There is a connection there and we believe he may have family there,” Lt. Skaff said.
Authorities filed a warrant for Wells for attempted murder and aggravated burglary.
Anyone with information regarding this incident or the whereabouts of Mr. Wells is urged to contact Detective Sgt. Doug Hartman at 419-352-1131. Callers that wish to remain anonymous can call the Wood County Crime Stoppers at 1-800-54-CRIME (419-352-0077).
