An Atlantic City man arrested in a drug raid last month is now wanted in a shooting that wounded a woman.

A ShotSpotter alert brought police to the scene at 9:45 p.m., Fair said.
A 25-year-old Atlantic City woman suffered a graze wound, he said. She initially refused medical attention, but later was seen at the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center's City Campus.
An investigation led to charges against Sanders and a 15-year-old boy from Bridgeton.
Sanders and a 15-year-old from Bridgeton were arrested last month after a raid at Sander's home found them both armed and with drugs, police said.

But Fair did say that the minor was served with his charges at the Harborfields Juvenile Detention Center.
It was not clear when Sanders was released from jail on the previous charges.
