A 28-year-old man was shot in the leg Saturday (Nov. 18) in the parking lot of the Take 5 Oil Change on Airline Drive in Metairie after he got into a fight with a fellow customer, according to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office. Authorities said the wounded man's injuries were not life-threatening.

The 28-year-old was waiting in line about noon to have his vehicle serviced at the Take 5, 3905 Airline Drive, when he grew frustrated and walked into the shop, said Glen T. Boyd, spokesman for the department. The man yelled at the workers before getting into a fight with a fellow customer.

The two men had moved the fight outside to an area behind the shop, when the 28-year-old punched the other customer, Boyd said. The 28-year-old then ran away on foot, leaving behind his vehicle.

When the 28-year-old returned to the oil change location shortly afterward to retrieve his car, the man who he was fighting with was waiting for him and fired a shot, hitting him once in the leg, Boyd said.

Boyd said the 28-year-old man drove himself to the hospital and has declined to press charges. JPSO is still searching for the shooter.

Anyone with information on the shooting is asked to call JPSO at 504-364-5300 or Crimestoppers at 504-822-1111.
