A man was shot Thursday night at Shadowood Apartments in Augusta, authorities said.
Richmond County deputies responded around 11:08 p.m. Thursday to the complex at 2506 Lumpkin Road, where they found “an adult male victim,” who had been shot at least once. He was transported to a local hospital.
“This investigation is in its early stages and no further information is available for release at this time,” sheriff’s Sgt. Kimberly Lee said in a press release at 2:24 a.m. Friday.
The latest shooting comes as Sheriff Richard Roundtree has pledged “selected enforcement action” to target criminals who are participating in gangs and the associated gun violence and drug trafficking.
The county has recorded six homicides this month, including at least two that were tied to gangs. Only one arrest has been announced in the homicides, none from the gang-related killings.
