UPDATE: An 18-year-old man remains hospitalized after Odessa Police say he was shot in the chest Wednesday evening.
Officers responded to a call of a possible gunshot victim in the area of 20th and Golder Avenue. Officers found the victim, Jeffery Dossey, who had a gunshot wound to the chest.
Dossey told police that he was at his home in the 800 block of West 22nd, when he heard yelling outside. Dossey grabbed a stick and went outside where he was confronted by two Hispanic men.
