Authorities are searching for a Marietta man in connection with a Sunday morning shooting in Woodstock.

The Cherokee County Sheriff's Office said David Hendrix, 29, shot Jimmy Cooper, 47, in the leg at a home on Wagon Trail. Cooper was taken to WellStar Kennestone Hospital with a non-life threatening injury.

The Cobb County police SWAT team executed a search warrant at Hendrix's home in Marietta and found his vehicle, but he was not there.

Hendrix and Cooper are acquaintances. It is unclear what prompted the shooting, the Sheriff's Office said.

Anyone with information on Hendrix's whereabouts should call police.
