The incident happened just before 9 p.m. in the 3700 block of N. Josephine St., north of City Park, according to police.

DPD said the ShotSpotter system detected at least one gunshot and officers saw a person leave the area in a vehicle. 

That vehicle crashed in the 3300 block of Columbine Street and he ran, DPD said. DPD tweeted Monday that they located a "person of interest."
