About 60 people were at an unlicensed bar/shot house on Claxton Road when “shooting broke out,” according to a police report from the Burke County Sheriff’s Office.
Dereck Hilton, 34, was transported to Burke Health, where he died. Credick Hilton, 43, Calleia Williams, 31, Terrance Calles, 30, and Arcedis Maine, 21, were all transported to area hospitals for treatment. There is no word on their conditions.
Two suspects have been named. Officials are looking for Jawuandre Kelly, 22, and Jordan Perkins, 20, for murder and four counts of aggravated assault.
