PORTSMOUTH, Va. - An 11-year-old boy was shot Tuesday afternoon on Merrimac Drive.
Portsmouth Police say a gunshot wound incident took place near the 10th block of Merrimac Drive around 6:04 p.m.
When police arrived on scene, they found the boy, who was suffering from a non-life-threatening gunshot wound.
He was taken to a hospital for treatment and is expected to recover.
Investigators say they are searching for the driver of a "possible" red Honda that was caught on surveillance video at the time of the incident.
Detectives were also initially looking for the blue truck seen in the video. After locating it and identifying the owner, officials say he is not considered a suspect at this time. They are still looking for the red car.
On June 28, police say they are looking for 28-year-old Denesha Lani Cameron, who is considered a person of interest.
