WAUSAU — Police have released a video showing a shooting suspect and are asking for the public's help to identify and find him.

The shooting was reported just after 9 p.m. Aug. 20, when officers and paramedics were called to the area of Short Street and North Third Street. They found a 35-year-old man with a single gunshot wound to his foot.

A business, in the direction the suspect ran, captured on video surveillance a man walking past who might have been involved.

The shooting suspect ran or walked away, heading to the north through an alleyway. A witness also reported seeing him going west between homes. 

Police say that if you recognize the man in the video or have any information related to the shooting incident, you should contact Det. Max LaPorte at 715-261-7854.

The shooting victim was transported to a local hospital the night of the incident, treated for the non-life threatening injury and released, police said.
