A Montgomery man lost his left leg below the kneecap after another allegedly shot him three times earlier this month, according to court records.
Rodricas Nelson, 40, was charged Tuesday with first-degree assault in connection to an August 2 incident.
Nelson allegedly went to a home in the 3800 block of Edgar D. Nixon Avenue shortly before 6 p.m. and shot the 37-year-old victim three times in the lower left leg.
The victim was taken to Baptist South for treatment where he ultimately had to have the injured portion of his leg below the kneecap amputated.
A warrant was issued for Nelson's arrest in connection to the shooting on Aug. 6. He's being held in the Montgomery County Detention Facility with a $30,000 bond.
