Police urge anyone with information call city tip line.
Video shows the man and vehicle sought in a shooting on South 20th Street in Newark Oct. 25, 2016 NEWARK -- Three separate shootings left four people wounded -- including two teenage girls -- within less than 24 hours around the state's largest city, authorities said Wednesday.
Around 2:15 p.m. Tuesday, a 36-year-old man was shot by a driver who pulled up in a car and appeared to speak to the victim before he got out and fired several times at the man on the 600 block of South 20th Street, according to Newark Public Safety Director Anthony Ambrose.
In security camera footage of the attack, the assailant chases after the injured man until he collapses on the sidewalk. The man underwent surgery and is expected to survive his injuries, police said.
Shortly after 6 p.m. the same day, two girls, 16 and 17, were shot near Lincoln Street and Eagles Parkway, authorities said in a statement. The teens were treated for non life-threatening injuries at University Hospital.

That attack is believed to have stemmed from an ongoing dispute between the girls and other teens they know, Ambrose added.
The third shooting came around 8 a.m. Wednesday on the 100 block of Pennington Street, according to authorities. A 23-year-old man was shot and underwent treatment for non life-threatening injuries.
Detectives were in the early stages of the investigations and few details were immediately available on what motivated the shootings as they pursued leads, police said.
Ambrose urged anyone with information to call the Newark police division 24-hour Crime Stoppers tip line at 877 NWK-TIPS (877 695-8477) or NWK-GUNS (877 695-4867). Authorities said all anonymous tips would be kept confidential.
