WARREN ä A 34-year-old Youngstown man was transported to Trumbull Memorial Hospital after being shot at least once in the leg near the intersections Milton Street S.E. and Hazelwood Avenue S.E. Wednesday around 6 p.m., police said.

Tyrone Lamar Henderson told Lt. Martin Gargas he was walking his dog with two friends when he heard a man shout, âhey!ã

Henderson said he turned around, didnát recognize the two men who were standing in the middle of the street and then turned to keep walking.

Then, Henderson said, he heard gunshots and ran until he was struck in the leg and fell. He then stood up and ran to a friendás house on Burton Street. Nine 9x19mm shell casings and one âlead projectileã was recovered by police at the scene.

Police are looking for two suspects, the first is described as a thin, average height, light-skinned, bi-racial man with no facial hair, between the ages of 18 and 22; who was wearing an olive green jacket, a blue shirt, dirty jeans and a dirty baseball cap.

The other suspect is also described as a light-skinned, bi-racial man, approximately 30 years old, average height and weight; who wore a white hoodie with the hood up and green jeans.

Henderson and the other witnesses told police they didnát recognize the men, but the man in the green jacket held the black handgun.

Six officers responded, police checked the area and stopped a couple of vehicles, but did not find the suspects.

A police call log indicates witnesses saw a man in a white hoodie walking south on Niles Road.

Scanner traffic indicated a witness to the shooting followed a red Pontiac G6 or G5 to Orchard Avenue, and that the suspects might have traveled into Howland.
