Francisco spoke to police on Wednesday, who said he might as well just turn himself in at this point because it’s just a matter of time before someone else spots him.

“It would be very important for you to turn yourself in so we can hear your side of the story on what had occurred, so we know the complete story, timeline, what happened and transpired, and by doing that, that would help not only us but potentially your circumstance in this case,” Lt. Anthony Petrón witht he Brookhaven Police Department said.

The shooting victim is a 75-year-old man, and police said he is still alive.

He is in the hospital but cannot communicate right now due to his injuries.

Francisco reached out to Kroger and the owners of Cherokee Plaza to see if the administration has a comment about the attack. She is waiting to hear back.

As for the person of interest, police said if you know him, call 911 or the Brookhaven police. He could be dangerous.
