CLOVER -- Police are looking for a gunman who they say shot a 21-year-old man in the leg Thursday night in Clover.

The suspect is an 18-25 year old man who goes by the name �Akeem,� according to a report from the York County Sheriff's Office. He is around 5-feet, 8-inches tall, according to the report.

A grandmother reported to police around 10 p.m. that her grandson was standing in her driveway on Flatstone Drive when a man pulled up in a dark colored SUV. The man behind the wheel asked her grandson if he �had his stuff,� then again if he had his money, the report says.

The two men know one another, according to the report.

The suspect began shooting and the man ran toward the house, but had already been shot, the report says. He was transported to Gaston Memorial Hospital for his injuries.

The forensics unit recovered seven 9-mm shell casings for evidence.

Later investigations showed that a bullet hit the front windshield of a car parked at the house, causing around $500 in damages, the report says.
