Police in West Orange are searching for a suspect who fled the scene following a shots-fired incident Sunday afternoon.

Just before 4:30 p.m., gunfire was reported in the teens block of Fairview Avenue, prompting officers to respond to the area. 

When police arrived, they located evidence indicating that a shooting had occurred. After canvassing the scene, however, no victims were found at that location.

 

Investigators believe a vehicle sped away from the area immediately after shots were fired at unknown targets.
 

The motive for the shooting has not been released, and the incident remains under active investigation. 

Anyone with information is urged to contact West Orange police.
