According to reports, authorities received a shots fired call in the 2000 block of Wyoming Avenue just before 9:30 a.m. where they found a bullet hole near the front door of a victim’s home.
They say the victim was home at the time of the shooting, and witnesses on scene saw a white car leaving the area.
Police say they were able to locate the white car registered to Hille near 1200 block of Woodbine Lane and, as they were arriving, they saw a black car with an orange front fender leaving the area.
They say Hille was later found in the Timber’s Apartment Complex getting back into the black car where he was then taken into custody.
A court-ordered search warrant was issued for Hille’s car and home which found a spent shell casing, multiple live rounds, a semi-auto pistol and several plastic bags of marijuana totaling 384 grams.
Officials say they later learned Hille and someone in the home that was shot at had a previous dispute over a drug deal.
Hille is being held on attempted murder, criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon and possession of marijuana.
He is being held without bond.
