One man was injured Monday afternoon in a shooting on Skyland Boulevard in Tuscaloosa.

Stephanie Taylor, a spokeswoman for the Tuscaloosa Police Department, said 911 calls about the shooting started to come in to dispatchers around 4 p.m. Monday.

Taylor said officers with the Tuscaloosa Police Department responded to the 2000 block of Skyland Boulevard, near a gas station. Upon arrival, officers found one man with  gunshot wounds.

The 34-year-old shooting victim was taken to DCH Regional Medical Center for treatment. Taylor said first responders believe the victim's injuries to be non-life threatening.

Police say they believe the shooting is the result of a dispute that occurred at another location earlier in the day.

One suspect, 35-year-old Marcedes Turner, is in custody and police are searching for an additional suspect, according to TPD's Facebook page. Turner was charged with attempted murder and certain persons forbidden from possessing a firearm. He also faces a previous charge of robbery.

The Tuscaloosa Violent Crimes Unit has assumed control of the investigation.
