St. Petersburg police seek gunman who shot at Hummer

ST. PETERSBURG -- Police are on the lookout for a gunman who fired two shots at a parked car Monday afternoon, striking and wounding a passenger.

The victim, Christopher Dustin Keseleski, 25, was not seriously hurt.

The gunman was among a group of four men who approached a Hummer that was parked in front of 1926-1/2 28th Ave. N about 3:40 p.m., police spokesman George Kajtsa said.

Keseleski, sitting in the front passenger seat, told police he was dropping off his father at a friend's house when the gunman ordered him out of the car. When he refused, the man fired a gun at the Hummer several times, striking Keseleski twice in the upper torso. The victim's girlfriend was also in the car.

Keseleski was treated at an area hospital for injuries not thought to be life threatening. No one else was injured.

Kajtsa said the gunman is being sought on attempted homicide charges.

Anyone with information can call police at (727) 892-5000.
