High-ranking police officials have been named as suspects in a purported April 15 drive-by shooting incident apparently directed against occupants of a Koblerville residence.
But police are still uncertain as to who the main target of the shooting was.
The victims, the Ada family residing behind the Han Nam Market, filed an official criminal mischief complaint at the Department of Public Safety early last week.
One family member reportedly produced a list of suspects pointing to four individuals associated with DPS. At least three of them hold top positions under the law enforcement agency.
Police Commissioner Charles W. Ingram Jr. said the case has been forwarded to the Attorney General’s Investigative Unit, a section that handles the probe on white-collar crimes.
Five .233 ammunition shell casings were reportedly found at the crime scene.
The bullets are believed to have been fired through a gun with a caliber legally allowed in the Northern Marianas.
Though there were no reported injuries as a result of the shooting incident, police records reveal that at least three gun shots were fired at the structure, creating holes on the victims’ car and bedroom. (MM)
