Police are investigating after a man was shot in the head Thursday evening in the North Valley.
Officers responded to a call of a man down at Monroe and Lavaille just after 8 p.m.
The man was taken to a hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Police said a group was gathered inside a house when an argument broke out, ultimately leading to the shooting. The suspect ran away before police arrived.
Moments later, a young child was struck by a vehicle on Monroe. Peoria Police Officer Amy Dotson said the child was in stable condition Friday morning. It's unclear if that incident is linked to the shooting.
Anyone with information is asked to call Peoria police or CrimeStoppers.
