NARRATIVE: At the request of Lake City Police Chief Kip Coker and FCSO Chief Deputy Glen Kirby, on January 6, 2020 FCSO Investigators responded to a shooting incident on Redus Barr Street, Lake City, SC. Upon arrival, Investigators discovered a gold Ford Freestyle in a ditch on Lassie Street. Witnesses indicated that they had seen multiple occupants of the Ford Freestyle drive by and one occupant shoot into a gold Ford Explorer which was parked on Redus Bar Street. The Explorer was occupied by two victims at the time of the shooting. Investigators noted numerous bullet holes in the Explorer, including the driver’s side rear window and the trunk hatch door. One of the occupants of the Explorer returned fire and the suspect vehicle then ran into the ditch. In addition, one bullet also struck a residence located on Redus Barr Street and came to rest inside the home. Investigators believe that this round was fired from the Ford Freestyle. Neither occupant of the Explorer were injured.

Investigators have charged all four occupants of the Ford Freestyle with two counts of Attempted Murder and Criminal Conspiracy. All have been denied bond. Investigators believe that this incident is gang related.

“We will not allow our streets to be turned over to the criminal gangs,” Sheriff Billy Barnes stated. “Wherever we find this type of senseless violence we will prosecute it to the fullest extent of the law.”
