Shooting on Jackson Street
On Wednesday, October 14, 2020, at approximately 8:40 pm, the Front Royal Police Department responded to a report of a shooting in the 100 block of W. Jackson Street. When officers arrived at the scene, they encountered a male, identified as Clarence Sheppard, 40, of Front Royal, with gunshot wounds to both legs. Sheppard disclosed that he was shot upon exiting his vehicle. The victim was transported to Warren Memorial Hospital and then transferred to Winchester Medical Center, where he received treatment for serious but non-life-threatening injuries. He has since been released from the hospital.
Witnesses stated there were possibly three male suspects all wearing hoodies to conceal their identity. Two of the suspects wore black hoodies and the third suspect wore a white hoodie with striped pants and white shoes. Officers searched the area and a subject was briefly detained in the 500 block of Virginia Avenue whose clothing matched the description given by witnesses.
This investigation is ongoing and anyone with any further information is asked to contact Front Royal Police Detective D.L. Fogle at (540) 636-2208 or by email at dfogle@frontroyalva.com.
