SAVANNAH, GA (September 18, 2016): Savannah-Chatham Metropolitan Police Department’s Violent Crimes detectives have launched an investigation into a shooting on Saturday, Sept. 17 at a residence on the 2500 block of New York Avenue.
Metro responded to the scene at about 8 p.m., locating shooting victim, DeAndre Newton, 30, at his residence. Newton was transported by ambulance to Memorial University Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.

Henderson is described as a black male, standing 5-5 and weighing about 150 pounds. Henderson has dreadlocks and gold teeth. He may be driving a silver Chevrolet Monte Carlo.
Thus far, parties believed to have knowledge of this incident have not cooperated fully with detectives.
