KNOXVILLE, Tenn — The Knoxville Police Department said that a man involved in a shooting reported in Fountain City on October 26 turned himself in to authorities on November 26.
On Dec. 17, KPD said that Dakota Keith Baker, 19, of Maynardville, was charged with aggravated assault, unlawful possession of a weapon, and reckless endangerment.
The shooting happened off North Broadway near the Panda Express around 4 p.m.
According to KPD, officers arrived at 4839 North Broadway to a reported shooting and found a man, identified as 52-year-old Carlton Wallace of Knoxville, near the roadway suffering from a gunshot wound.
KPD said officers provided emergency aid to Wallace before EMS took him to UT Medical Center for treatment. On October 27, KPD said that Wallace is expected to survive.
Records show that Baker shot Wallace while on the roadway of North Broadway near the location of 4839 N. Broadway. Baker was driving a silver sedan.
Police initially said an unidentified person reportedly drove away from the scene in a vehicle.
A witness who was at the Krispy Kreme across the street said she heard a gunshot initially then saw someone in the vehicle shooting at the person two more times.
She said she then rushed over to chase the vehicle down and catch the tag number.
"I hope he's ok. I really hope he's ok," she said. "If it was my kid or my grandkid -- I hope somebody would do it, too."
Another man who spoke to 10News said he helped the man who was shot, saying he used his truck to block traffic on Broadway so he could provide emergency aid to him before police arrived.
"I thought he was gonna die…I couldn't wait to have, I couldn't let that happen. I run over, made sure as we wrapped his arm to stop the bleeding, and that was one officer trying to figure out where he was hit," he said.
Officers had blocked off the southbound side of Broadway and put crime tape around a pick-up truck and sedan in the parking lot of the Advance Auto Parts.
