Two victims were transported to a local healthcare facility for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries. Fargo Police now tell WDAY Radio they are seeking the public’s assistance in locating the suspect in this incident, Angel J. Milete. Milete, a 21-year-old male from Fargo, was last wearing black pants and a black t-shirt.
"Milete should be considered armed and dangerous," said the Department in a released statement to WDAY Radio. "Members of the public are asked to refrain from approaching or attempting to apprehend him. If a member of the public locates Milete, they are asked to call 9-1-1 immediately to relay relevant information with accurate details such as the location Milete was last seen, the type of the vehicle he was driving, the last known direction of travel, descriptions of the clothing he was wearing and information about anyone who may have been accompanying Milete."
