Updating an earlier story, two people were shot in Plumley Village in Worcester on Monday night and WPD is now searching for a second suspect.

Tragically, an infant was struck by a stray bullet as the city’s trend of gang violence continues to play out.

Around 8:30 PM, shots were reported by Shotspotter on Laurel Street. The shooting actually occurred on Everett Gaylord Boulevard.

As of Monday evening, the infant was stable after being shot in the shoulder.

A second victim, a woman, was shot in the arm and hand and suffered non-life threatening injuries.

According to communication on the WPD police scanner, officers are looking for a light skin Hispanic male, roughly 5'5" to 5'6", in his late 20s to early 30s, with curly hair and wearing a dark shirt with dark pants.

A witness notified the WPD of a second suspect. The only information available at this time is that the suspect was a male, wearing a turquoise blue shirt.

The gang unit and K-9 units responded to the scene and, according to reports on the scanner, two females were transported to the Worcester Police station for questioning.
