Lexington Police continue to investigate October apartment shooting

Posted

Lexington Police are again asking for the public’s help as they continue to investigate an apartment complex shooting that took place in October.

Per releases from the department, officers responded to a call of gunfire at the Reserve at Mill Landing apartments on East Main Street at about 10 a.m Oct. 9.

“When they arrived, a man who had been shot in the lower body several times was found outside of his apartment,” the department states in a Dec. 6 release. “Officers provided aid until Lexington County EMS arrived and transported him to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.  The victim was released from the hospital later that same day.

“Witnesses told detectives that they saw two black males run into the nearby woods and that a white or silver sedan was seen in the area at the time of the incident.”

The department provided footage from the victim’s door camera, which it said was obtained via search warrant, which shows the two suspects, faces covered, running up to the door, with one of the suspects pointing what appears to be a gun at the door before they both run away. The second suspect also appears to be carrying a gun.

The release notes that the investigation has been ongoing since the incident occurred and that the shooting victim has not cooperated with detectives. Per the release, Lexington Police believe the shooting is connected to narcotics trafficking.

“Detectives are again asking anyone who witnessed this incident, has home security footage, has seen related social media postings, or has other information that would be helpful in this case to contact Detective Taylor at 803-358-1569 or jtaylor@lexsc.com,” the release states.

Lexington Police also direct those with information to Midlands Crimestoppers at (888) 274-6732.
