Irmo man arrested in Lexington shooting

One woman was injured in yesterday's shooting

Posted

An Irmo man is charged with attempted murder in yesterday's shooting of a woman in Lexington.

Joseph Randolph Henry, 28, is also charged with possessing a firearm during a violent crime, according to arrest warrants.

“Detectives interviewed several witnesses who voluntarily told them Henry threatened to kill the victim as they rode in a car [together] on Augusta Road,” Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said. 
“Henry was one of four people in the car at the time of the shooting, including the victim, another passenger and a man who was driving.”

After the shooting, Henry fled from the car after it stopped in the Fellowship Baptist Church parking lot at 4238 Augusta Rd.

“Deputies detained Henry a short time later just down the block from where he got out of the car and transported him to the Lexington County Detention Center,” Koon said.

Henry was denied bond at his Friday hearing.

Nearby Oak Grove Elementary School was placed on lockout for about 20 minutes Thursday morning while deputies investigated the incident.

The lockout was lifted around 8:45 am, according to district officials, after authorities determined there was no threat to the school.
