PARIS — Two “persons of interest” sought in the shooting of an 18-year-old from Massachusetts last weekend in West Paris are believed to still be in Oxford County, Chief Deputy James Urquhart said Friday.
John Crouch and Angelique Henderson, both 39, from the Paris area were last seen with the wounded teen, Vincent Andre Lewis Coppin Jr. of Dorchester, Urquhart said.
Choppin called police about 10:30 p.m. Sunday saying he’d been shot near Jackson Crossing Road, according to the Oxford County Sheriff’s Office. He was flown to Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston. According to Urquhart, he has since been released.
“He was interviewed by police and is not cooperating,” Urquhart wrote in an email Friday.
Urquhart said the public is not in danger and the case is still being investigated.
