Collier County Sheriff’s Office deputies are looking for 29-year-old Aldrice Edwan Cummings. Deputies said he is described as black, 5 feet 9 inches tall and 130 pounds with black hair and brown eyes.
Cummings is wanted for aggravated battery and aggravated battery with a firearm, both felonies, in connection with the shooting that occurred around 5 p.m. near the area of South 5th Street and Delaware Avenue.

Cummings then turned the car around and drove back in the direction of James, who was on the grass. Cummings pulled the car up next to James and fired one gunshot toward James’ face. After the gunshot, Cummings ran over James with the vehicle and headed south on South 5th Street.
Deputies located the Buick about three blocks away at 507 Doak Ave., which deputies said is the home of a relative of Cummings.
James was flown to Lee County Memorial Hospital, where he was listed in stable condition late Monday.
