MANCHESTER, NH — A Queen City man with a prior gun-related case out of the Gate City is wanted by Manchester police after a shooting on July 22.

In an alert issued Thursday, Manchester police are seeking to find Dyllon Potvin, 22, of Manchester, after a shooting on Bridge Street. Police, according to Heather Hamel, the public information officer for the department, were requested to investigate a bullet hole found in an apartment from a neighboring apartment. The tenant reported finding drywall on the floor, a hole in the ceiling, an indentation in a wall, and a shell casing behind a door, the report said.

“During the investigation,” she said, “police determined that the bullet had come from a neighboring apartment and established probable cause to charge Potvin with felony reckless conduct as well as falsifying evidence.”
