Champaign police responded Saturday to a shooting in the 1600 block of North Mattis Avenue that left a 19-year-old passenger with a critical torso wound, the department said.
Officers found the injured teen inside a vehicle and rushed him to a hospital, where trauma teams listed his condition as critical but stable after emergency surgery.
Detectives believe multiple rounds were fired during a dispute that erupted near the roadway, though they have not released a motive.
Evidence technicians marked shell casings and towed the car for forensic examination while analysts review nearby business cameras.
North Mattis Avenue residents reported hearing rapid gunfire shortly before sirens arrived, a sequence officers are matching against witness timelines.
Anyone with doorbell or dashcam video from the early-morning hours is asked to submit clips through the city’s anonymous tip portal.
