Guyanese-born charged with attempted second-degree murder
Oklahoma, US – The person of interest in Thursday’s shooting that left a woman with life-threatening injuries has been arrested in connection with attempted second-degree murder and aggravated burglary.
Shiek Azeez, 37, of Guyana, at 2:38 a.m. was booked into the Shawnee County Jail. His bond hearing was set for 10 a.m.
Azeez late Thursday was brought into the law enforcement center for questioning regarding a shooting at an apartment complex atop Huntoon Hill.
Shiek Azeez, 37, of Guyana, was arrested on suspicion of second degree murder and aggravated burglary.
The female victim, who was shot multiple times, was in stable condition early Friday, according to a news release from the Topeka Police Department that was sent just before 1 a.m. No further updates on her condition were known as of 7:45 a.m.
The release stated the incident was still under investigation.
Law enforcement officers responded to a report of a shooting about 8:15 p.m. Thursday. Then ensued an hour-plus manhunt involving K-9 units and a Kansas Highway Patrol helicopter — for the person thought to have been involved with the shooting. The person of interest, Azeez, eventually was located just after 10 p.m. on the grounds of the apartment complex where the shooting occurred.
Azeez was described as a 5-foot-6, 150-pound Asian male with a clean-shaven face and short black hair. He was said to be wearing a black shirt with “Army” imprinted, black cargo pants, and red and white Reebok shoes. (cjonline.com)
