Two Teens Sought by Police for Shooting Near Knox College
Local authorities are issuing warrants for the arrest of two people suspected of firing shots at a Sport Utility Vehicle a little over a week ago near Knox College.

Galesburg police say they're seeking Anthony Alfaro and Xavier Parker in connection to the shooting that happened around 11 p-m May 27th near the 100 block of South Academy Street.

Authorities issued the warrants Friday. The one for Alfaro is for $250,000. He's wanted for aggravated discharge of a firearm. Parker's warrant is for $200,000 for possession of a firearm by a felon.

The two men are described by police as around 18 years of age. Alfaro is Hispanic and Parker is black, and both are around 5'8" tall.

Police reports say the suspects got into an altercation with two men they know who were in the SUV. Alfaro is accused of firing several shots at the vehicle with a gun he allegedly got from Parker before the SUV sped off.
