The Lodi Police Department is looking for a man after a 19-year-old was shot in the face during an argument Sunday afternoon.

Around 12:24 p.m., officers responded to the 2600 block of Reynolds Ranch Parkway after receiving reports of gunfire in a parking lot, according to a news release issued by the police department.

The men fled in separate cars, with the victim transporting himself to a local hospital, where he remained in critical condition, according to the release.

The gunman was described as being in his late teens or early 20s with short facial hair and was last seen leaving the scene in a newer-model silver or gray sedan, according to the release.
