The Rome Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Unit has identified the suspect in last Thursday night’s shooting incident as William Alexander Navarette.

He is described as a Hispanic male, 5’6” tall weighing 140 lbs.  

There is an active arrest warrant for Navarette charging him with aggravated assault.

Anybody with information related to the current whereabouts of Navarette is asked to call the Rome PD’s Criminal Investigation Division at (706) 238-5111 or 9-1-1 immediately. 

On January 19th, shortly after 11:00pm 9-1-1 received a call regarding gunshots in the area of Alma Road and Larkspur Lane.  Responding officers located several shell casings in that area.  Approximately 20 minutes later 9-1-1 received a call that a person had just arrived at the hospital with a gunshot wound.

Officers responding to the hospital determined that those two calls were related.

Detectives were notified and responded to the scene.
