The ordeal began around 11:30 p.m. Saturday along the 400 block of South Street.
Jackson, who had a permit to carry, then pulled out a gun and fired at Townes, investigators said. Townes, who also has a permit to carry, pulled out his own weapon and fired back, shooting Jackson. At the same time, police said Quran Garner, who was walking nearby on South Street, pulled out his own weapon and fired at Townes, Jackson and the third man. Garner then allegedly turned and aimed at police. An officer then fired back and shot Garner in the hand. Garner then ran down American Street, shouting, “He shot my hand off! He shot my hand off,” investigators said.
Investigators have not yet determined a motive for the initial fight between Jackson and Townes. They revealed during an afternoon press conference that both Townes and the unnamed suspect they are searching for are both boxers though they’re unsure if that had anything to do with the fight.
