Richmond County authorities are investigating a shooting death that took place Tuesday morning at the Corner Store convenience store.
Anthony Lee Flowers, 33, was shot around 10:45 a.m. Tuesday and died from his injuries at Augusta University Medical Center. Authorities say the shooting took place at 2302 Wheeless Rd. in Augusta.
Witnesses say an older male got into an argument with the Flowers. Flowers slapped the suspect, who reacted by pulling a gun and firing it, striking the victim at least once.
“This is an active investigation and any additional information will be released once it becomes available,” sheriff’s Sgt. Caleb Lee said in a press release.
