SALISBURY — A Salisbury man was shot and wounded outside of his apartment Saturday night and a suspect remains at large.

According to reports from the Salisbury Police Department, Santos Monicon Shipp, sustained a gunshot wound around 10:40 p.m.

Shipp and an unidentified woman were in a car in an apartment parking lot in the 500 block of Lash Drive. 

The women went back into the apartment, while Shipp remained in the vehicle. When she returned to the car, she reportedly felt something against her back, believed to be a gun, and was told by an unidentified assailant, “if you move, I will blow your brains out.”

The assailant demanded Shipp exit the vehicle and then shot him. Shipp then ran off and the female reportedly drove the car away. 

The suspect also fled and remains unidentified. When first responders arrived on scene, Shipp was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
