Aurora police are investigating two shootings from last weekend, one of which caused a 21-year-old man to be hospitalized, according to a Monday news release.
The first shooting occurred about 10:55 p.m. Friday on the 200 block of North Ohio Street.
A bullet struck a home, causing minor damage but no injuries were reported, police said. Police did not have information about a suspect.
The second shooting occurred about 11:40 p.m. Saturday on the 1300 block of Eastwood Drive during a large house party, police said.
Officers responded to a call of gunshots and saw people running from the area upon arriving at the home.
A few minutes later, officers learned a 21-year-old Yorkville man had been taken to an Aurora hospital by an acquaintance, police said.
The man had a gunshot wound in his hip. His injuries were not considered life-threatening, and he was released from the hospital after receiving treatment, police said.
The shooter was described as a black man between 18 and 22 years old who's about 5 feet 11 inches to 6 feet tall, police said. He was wearing a gray windbreaker jacket, police said. It does not appear the victim and shooter knew each other, police said.
No other injuries were reported.
