Daughter of deputy pleads for tips after dad ambushed, shot

MONCKS CORNER, S.C. (AP) – The daughter of a Berkeley County sheriff’s lieutenant who was shot and wounded in Charleston has issued a public plea for information to help catch the suspect.

Jaime Rogers Wyatt tearfully addressed a crowd during a news conference outside the Medical University of South Carolina Hospital Tuesday. Her father, Lt. Will Rogers, was shot late May 14 by a masked man outside a gas station. Authorities say the man then carjacked another victim at gunpoint and fled.

Rogers is in critical but stable condition after suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

More than 200 officers took part in a massive manhunt after the shooting, but authorities have not found the suspect.

Officials announced Tuesday the reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspect has been increased to $11,000.
