Durham police are asking the public for help finding a shooter that seriously injured an 8-year-old girl last month.
The victim is currently recovering from life-threatening injuries in a hospital after the shooter fired into a home around 8 p.m. Jan. 18.
A man was seen on security camera footage standing outside the residence on the 800 block of Liberty Street and firing a gun at it several times. Police released two short video clips Monday in hopes of someone identifying him.
The 8-year-old girl is the first child shot in Durham this year, according to police statistics.
