The Statesboro Police Department is is investigating a shooting that left one woman injured over the weekend.
The agency says officers patrolling the area of Pine Street in Statesboro heard shots fired in the area around 11:30 p.m. on June 25.
Officers responded and secured the area, being notified shortly afterward that a 20-year-old female had been transported to East Georgia Regional Medical Center by private vehicle. The female had been struck by gunfire and was transferred to Memorial in Savannah. She is expected to be released from care today.
Detectives responded and spent several hours processing the scene. The incident took place after a large gathering was dispersed by officers on another street and certain of the participants arrived on Pine Street to continue the party.
Detectives believe multiple witnesses were present when the shots were fired and are asking for the public’s help in identifying the motive for the shooting and the participants.
Anyone with information should contact Senior Detective Jodie Tanner at 912-764-9911 or submit an anonymous tip to tips@statesboroga.gov.
