Roanoke police are looking for a suspect in the drive-by shooting of a teenager last night.
15-year-old Jonathan King was shot in the forehead as he was standing outside a relative's house in the 3000 block of Ferncliff Avenue Northwest.
King is in stable condition.
Police say the shot came from a car that drove by the house shortly before 8 o'clock.

The Attorney General's office is warning consumers of a telephone scam that uses it's name.
Jerry Kilgore says a Christiansburg man got a call from someone who said he was working for the attorney general's office and looking into credit card theft.
The caller told him that his card had been fraudulently billed 479-dollars and he would have it removed.
First, however, the caller sought the victim's checking account number to help cover the bill until the office could take care of the fraud.
The Christiansburg man declined and checked with the attorney general's office.
