Authorities say the 18-year old victim was walking near East Parkview Boulevard and Douglas Ave.   around 1:18 am Monday morning, when a car drove up, and a suspect from inside fired at least one round from a shotgun.

The victim was struck by some pellets but the wounds were not serious.   Police say the shooting was likely gang-related, and the investigation continues.
