A man suspected of shooting a 19-year-old in the back last week with a shotgun still is on the run.

Police in Calhoun, Ga., are investigating what prompted a reported fight between Corey Mitchell and Diondre DePaul Curtis two days before Mitchell is suspected of shooting Curtis twice, police spokesman Lt. Tony Pyle said.

Mitchell’s brother told police that the 35-year-old Mitchell and Curtis had fought in the street and Curtis won the fight, an incident report shows. Mitchell’s brother is not identified in the report.

Mitchell, who last was seen Thursday driving a green Ford Escort, is not believed to be in Gordon County anymore, Pyle said. His last known address is in Lithonia, Ga., but he is from New York.

“We are actively seeking him,” Pyle said. “At this point, anything is possible.”
