COLUMBIA,SC (WOLO)- Columbia Police have identified the male suspect accused of injuring two people in an overnight shooting in Five Points.

CPD has outstanding arrest warrants for 22-year-old Marlon Adam White. Once arrested, police say White will be charged for two counts of Attempted Murder and Possession of a Weapon during a Violent Crime in connection with the shooting incident that happened at The Cotton Gin bar on Harden street.

The warrants have been entered in to the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) database.

Investigators are releasing surveillance pictures of White that were obtained from multiple surveillance cameras in the Five Points Entertainment District in an effort to locate him.
