ROCKLAND — A shooting suspect has been arrested in Florida following a multistate investigation into a September incident that left one person injured.
Elijah Finch, 29, of Brockton, was taken into custody Oct. 1 just outside Orlando, Florida, according to the Rockland Police Department.
The arrest stems from a shooting that occurred Sept. 21 at approximately 5:20 p.m. at 292 Market Street in Rockland.
Officers responding to reports of gunshots found one victim suffering from gunshot-related injuries.
The victim was transported to a nearby hospital where they were treated and later stabilized.
A handgun was recovered in close proximity to the scene.
Following a detailed investigation, Rockland Police detectives identified Finch as the suspect and tracked his movements down the East Coast.
The department coordinated with out-of-state authorities during the investigation.
The Rockland Police Department is currently seeking extradition of Finch to Massachusetts, where he will face charges related to the shooting incident.
