One individual was injured and three have been arrested after a shooting at The Vault Apartments in Statesboro early Sunday morning.
From the Statesboro Police press release:
On 4/28/24 at 12:21 a.m. SPD officers located in the area of Statesboro Place Circle heard multiple gunshots. Flock acoustic gunshot detectors also registered the discharges as coming from The Vault Apartments at 1699 Statesboro Place Circle. Officers searching the area discovered shell casings and damaged vehicles in the parking lot and in the common areas of the 3 Building. Noting damage to an apartment’s window, officers discovered a 20 year old male inside suffering from a gunshot wound to the torso. He was taken to East Georgia Regional Medical Center and treated, being released after several hours of care.
Information provided by residents of the 3 Building led officers to a third floor apartment in that building. Detectives issued a search warrant for that location and Patrol officers secured all of the occupants, who were transported to SPD for interviews. Detectives located two firearms inside of the residence.
After multiple interviews and the processing of the crime scene and apartment, detectives determined that the victim was an innocent third party. An exchange of gunfire between two groups at the 3 Building resulted in a bullet entering the victim’s apartment and striking him. At this time detectives have charged three individuals in connection with the case:
- Shamarge Brown (18, Sylvania, Ga) charged with Aggravated Assault
- Aurico Delauder (19, Oak Hill MHP, Statesboro) charged with Aggravated Assault
- Ar’Quise Newton (18, Lanier Drive, Statesboro) charged with False Statements
and Writings
The investigation into this incident continues. Anyone with information should contact Senior Detective Dustin Cross at 912-764-9911.
