PATERSON, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — A northern New Jersey man is still at large after police say he shot a 17-year-old girl over the weekend.
Authorities are looking for 25-year-old Luis Polanco more than two days after the shooting. He is charged with attempted murder and weapons charges.
Paterson police say the shooting occurred around 2:10 a.m. Saturday. The teen was shot and seriously wounded while sitting in the passenger seat of a car.
It's not clear if the teen or someone else in the car was targeted or if the car was moving or parked when the shooting occurred.

It's unclear how police linked Polanco to the shooting.
