Syracuse police investigate shooting that injured two on Lincoln Avenue
Two people were shot at a Lincoln Avenue home Wednesday night, and Syracuse police say the investigation remains active after another gunfire call on the block.
Two people were shot at a residence on Lincoln Avenue in Syracuse around 9:13 p.m. Wednesday, sending officers to 198 Lincoln Ave. and drawing a heavy police presence to the block. Syracuse police said the shooting unfolded in the 100 block of Lincoln Avenue.
Sgt. Thomas Blake said officers found victims suffering from apparent gunshot wounds when they arrived at the scene. Police said the investigation remained active, and they planned to release more information as it became available.
The shooting adds to a troubling stretch of gun violence tied to Lincoln Avenue. A 20-year-old man was injured in a shooting there Saturday night and is expected to survive, according to police. Earlier shooting reports also surfaced on Lincoln Avenue in 2018 and 2019, keeping the street on the radar of neighbors and investigators alike.
For residents along the corridor, Wednesday night’s response was another reminder that the violence has not been confined to a single incident. Police have not yet said what led to the gunfire at 198 Lincoln Ave., and the scene remained part of an open case as detectives continued to gather details in Syracuse’s southwest neighborhoods.
