MANHATTAN – A Manhattan man arrested following the recent shooting in Aggieville that left one per injured is scheduled to appear in Riley County Court on Tuesday.

Just after 1:30 a.m. on April 12, police responded to a report of multiple shots being fired in the area of 11th Street and Fremont Street in Manhattan.

Authorities were told that a black suspect wearing a dark blue jacket and a shirt with a white design on it was observed fleeing from the area and was possibly armed with a handgun.

Police chased the suspect on foot through Manhattan City Park. They eventually apprehended Dontay Tabron, 21, near the intersection of South Manhattan Avenue and Houston Street.

Tabron is being held on charges of aggravated battery and criminal discharge of a firearm (into an occupied dwelling) after what police believe was originally a verbal altercation between Tabron and Wesley Dukes, 23, of Manhattan.

Dukes received medical attention at Mercy Regional Hospital for a gunshot wound to the leg that was considered non-life threatening.
