Ewing police are looking for answers in a shooting Saturday that left on one man in the hospital.
EWING - Police are investigating a shooting and a hit-and-run late Saturday morning that left one man in the hospital.
Officers were called to the scene of Beechwood Avenue and Parkway Avenue around 11 a.m. Saturday for a hit-and-run, according to Ewing police. When they arrived to the scene of a parked car that had been hit, they learned that a man had been shot in the area around the same time. No suspects were around the scene at the time police arrived.
The man, 27-year-old Kevin Lewis of Trenton, arrived in the hospital shortly after for a gunshot wound to his leg, police said.

Lewis did not tell police what happened and they hadn't found a suspect by Saturday evening. Police believe the hit-and-run and the shooting were connected because they happened so close to each other.
Police said Lewis was in custody Saturday evening for hindering apprehension and warrants. Officers said he initially gave a false name when they questioned him.
Police were still investigating both incidents Saturday evening.
It was the second shooting in the area over the weekend. Trenton police were investigating another late Friday evening when a woman said she was shot in the buttocks while driving down East State Street in Trenton. Ewing police do not know whether the two shootings were connected.
