According to the report, the SUV owner followed the break-in suspect and found his car next to a dumpster along Villena Drive.

The SUV owner called 911, but he told officers he wasn’t sure if he had shot the other man.

Police called hospitals to see if there was a shooting victim that matched the description.

At this point, the break-in suspect hasn’t been found and no arrests have been made.
