Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) investigators are asking the public for any information in connecting with the shooting incident at a graduation party Friday in Lobeco.
“We don’t really have any more information than we did,” BCSO spokesperson Master Sgt. Danny Allen said. “We are asking the public for help and to come forward with anything they know.”
On Friday, June 7, deputies were called out to Horace Dawson Lane at 11 p.m. following multiple reports of gunfire, according to a release sent out by the Sheriff’s Office.
Arriving on the scene, deputies found a 38-year-old woman who had suffered a gunshot wound.
They also learned of three more victims, a 17-year-old female, a 20-year-old female, and a 21-year-old male, who had all already left the scene to seek medical attention for their injuries.
According to Allen, a group of people of varying ages had gathered to celebrate a graduation when the suspects showed up to the party and began shooting.
The four people sustained non-life-threatening injuries and there was damage to property as well.
“At this time, investigators are requesting anyone who may have been at the party on Friday night, or those who may have information as it relates to the incident, to report it,” a release sent out on Tuesday, June 11 said.
Any information can be reported to Investigator Kline at 843-225-3430 or Crime Stoppers of the Lowcountry at 843-554-1111 to remain anonymous.
