MARTINSVILLE, Va. (rbs news now) — A man wanted in connection with a neighborhood shooting on Massey Street has turned himself in to authorities, the Martinsville Police Department confirmed Sunday.

Devin Jamar Stockton surrendered at the Martinsville Police Department on June 29 and was taken into custody without incident.

He is being held without bond at the Martinsville City Jail.

The charges stem from a June 27 shooting in the 100 block of Massey Street. Officers responded to multiple reports of gunfire and located a male victim at SOVAH Martinsville Emergency Department with gunshot wounds to his lower body and several graze injuries. He was treated and later released.
