Sheldon said police asked if people heard gun shots and they answered no.
He said as police were canvassing the area, they heard what sounded like a call for help coming from an alley near the first block of North Van Lear Street and found a 32-year-old man with a single gunshot wound to the back.
He was given first aid and transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Detectives from the Dayton Police Department’s Violent Offender Unit are investigating this incident, according to Sheldon.
