The Vicksburg Police Department (VPD) is searching for a man wanted for aggravated assault in connection with a shooting Tuesday morning at the Fastway service station at the corner of Clay and Cherry streets.

VPD Chief of Police Penny Jones said 20-year-old Rashad Williams is believed to have fired a weapon at another individual inside the gas station following a dispute just after 10:30 a.m. Tuesday.

The victim has not been identified, but VPD did confirm an individual was taken by ambulance for treatment at a local hospital. Witnesses on the scene Tuesday morning said they saw a Black male loaded into an ambulance after hearing as many as 10 gunshots come from inside the store.

Jones said Williams is considered armed and dangerous and asked that anyone with any information about his whereabouts contact VPD Capt. Curtis Judge at 601-831-8026, or VPD at 601-636-2511.
