CAPE CORAL, Fla. — A young man was shot in Cape Coral over the weekend.
On Saturday, around 4:30 a.m., officers responded to the 100 block of SE 6th Street after multiple callers reported shots fired and several vehicles fleeing the area.
According to reports, two men dragged the victim into a white SUV and left.
