June 18, 2010 Updated Feb 8, 2010 at 5:36 PM EST FORT WAYNE, Ind. (Indiana's NewsCenter) - Fort Wayne Police are searching for a suspect said to have fled the scene of a shooting Saturday. Investigators say 20-year-old Marteques Black was shot when a man attempted to rob him on Reed Street. This marks the third shooting on that street in the past ten days. Police say this activity is unusual and they have no plans to increase patrol. Officer Mike Joyner says, “I don't think just because we see this momentary upswing that you'll see an additional presence of police. I think you'll probably see those officers that work that specific area taking note of it and doing everything they can to discourage robberies being a motive.” Black was taken to the hospital in critical condition Saturday.
