Apartment complex shooter sought

MOBILE, Ala. (WALA) - Mobile police are still looking for the suspect who fired at a man inside a car at an apartment complex. 

The victim was holding a small child in his lap when someone fired at them on Friday.  

The South of Dauphin Apartment complex is a gun-free zone, but that didn't someone from opening fire on Marilyn Austin's son Friday night.

"I was terrified. I was terrified," Austin said.

Austin had just walked into her apartment when she heard the gunshots right in front of her unit.

"They were just sitting out in the car, right there in the front, and I was in the house, because I had my other grandbaby," she said.

Natosha Scott is the child's mother she said she saw the gunmen come to the car and walk around to the passenger's side, then to the drivers side. That's when she says the men began to shoot.

"[The victim] got out the car, and started running, and I guess he heard one of the guys say 'It's not him,' and they got back in the car and fled," Scott said.

Scott is grateful neither the child nor her father were hurt. 

"They just don't care, they really didn't care at all, and what's really bad is if somebody had got hit, and it's not even the person they're  looking for," she said.

"Whoever did it I want them to be caught, because whoever did it, like I said, it was a mistaken identity," Austin said.

If you have any information about the shooting call Mobile Police.
