While the investigation into a shooting that occurred in Enid Saturday morning is “ongoing,” it may soon come to a halt.
Enid Police Department Capt. Dean Grassino said the investigation may end because of a request from the victim, Timothy L. Richards III.
“The victim is not cooperating with law enforcement,” Grassino said, “and is asking that the case be discontinued.”
Richards has provided police with no details of what happened.
He was hospitalized Saturday after he received a non-life threatening gunshot wound while he was near 5th and Wabash, according to police.
According to police records, Richards was shot by an unknown man in the early morning hours.
However, according to Grassino, if the victim in a case does not want the incident pursued, it is difficult for authorities to proceed. Any forensic evidence police gather will be kept for a period of time, Grassino said, but the victim will not testify.
“He made his request in writing,” Grassino said.
