GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - A Michigan man is in police custody as law enforcement in Green Bay say he's behind a shooting incident in a west side neighborhood.
The Green Bay P.D. says they were investigating what appeared to be a drive-by shooting in the 300 block of 12th Avenue at 7:15 p.m. Monday.
Authorities believe now that the shots fired were from an attempted robbery during a drug deal.
Green Bay police say two men arranged to meet a third man at that location to buy drugs with a plan to rip the man off.
Both men got into the third man's car and after a short time the two men ran off with the drugs. The third man fired shots at them as they ran away.
Bullets struck two homes nearby, but no one was hurt.
An investigation found that the shooter was apparently a 21-year-old Menominee Michigan man. Investigators worked with police in Menominee to find and arrest the man.
The suspect is currently behind held in Upper Michigan on other charges and the Brown County District Attorney's office is seeking extradition.
Green Bay police also reinforce the fact that the shooting had no direct connection to the neighborhood where it happened. It was just a chosen location for the men to meet up.
