Carbondale Police are searching for a man involved in a weekend shooting and traffic crash. 

Police say 23 year old Shephen  Moultire of Carbondale is wanted for aggravated discharge of a firearm, aggravated battery with a firearm and unlawful use of weapons by a felon. 

Just before 11:30 p.m Saturday, Carbondale Police were called to the 700 block of South Lewis Lane for a report of shots fired and a crash. 

One person with a gunshot wound was taken to Memorial Hospital of Carbondale for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

Both vehicles crashed, and Moultrie fled the area. 

Carbondale Police say Moultrie is considered armed and dangerous.

Anyone with information about the incident or the whereabouts of Stephen Moultrie is asked to call the Carbondale Police Department.
