A suspect in the Monday night shooting of a man on Clark Lane remains at large as Belmont Police continues its investigation into the incident that left a victim hospitalized.

In a press release from Belmont Polie dated Feb. 25, at 9:12 p.m. Monday, the Belmont Communications Center received multiple 911 calls reporting gunshots as well as a person shot in the vicinity of Clark Lane, a dead-end road off of Royal Road lined by multi-unit dwellings that end near Pearson Road.
When officers arrived, both the suspected shooter and the victim had fled the scene. Belmont Police and officers from Watertown, Waltham, and Arlington collected evidence at the scene while searching for the individuals. Soon afterward, the police learned the wounded man had driven himself to Mt. Auburn Hospital. 

The suspect remains a fugitive as of Wednesday. Belmont Police have yet to identify either the victim or shooter but have reassured residents “that this was not a random act of violence, and there is no immediate threat to the community,” noted the press release. 

The investigation remains active, and anyone with information is urged to contact Belmont Police Detectives at 617-993-2550.
