NAPLES, Fla. — Collier County sheriff's Office deputies responded to a shooting near Sherbrook Drive and Radio Road where the suspect shooter attempted to flee.

Deputies were sent to the location in reference to a shooting in progress on Tuesday at 6:17 PM.

As deputies were heading to the scene, they got another call that the suspect was a female who went eastbound on Radio Road in a possible white Honda Civic.

As other deputies responded to the scene, the victim was found at the Northeast corner of Livingston and Radio Road with a shot wound in his right buttocks cheek.

According to the report, a witness says they saw the victim fleeing the scene on a bike before police arrived.
