ELIZABETH CITY, N.C. — Police arrested and charged a man who allegedly shot another man in Elizabeth City on Thursday.
Officers were sent to 146 Rich Boulevard not far from a Papa John's Pizza restaurant just after 5 p.m.
When they arrived, they didn't find a shooting victim or suspect. A brief time later, dispatchers called saying the victim, 27-year-old Sherman Pepino Banks Jr. was taken to the hospital using private transportation. He was treated for non-life threatening injuries.
