A man and a juvenile male received minor wounds, one to a leg and one to a foot, in a shooting Tuesday night on a Chalmette street, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.

Anyone with information should call the Sheriff’s Office at (504) 271-2501 or Crimestoppers at (504) 822-1111.

The victims, now living in Chalmette, said they were standing on South Philip Court near De La Ronde Drive when an unknown man in the black car pulled up, got out, and began shooting at them, the sheriff said.

Melvin Murphy, 34, and a 16-year-old male were wounded and taken to University Hospital for treatment of non life-threatening injuries, the sheriff said. Murphy was wounded in the right calf and the juvenile was hit in the right foot.
