Three people — including 2 teenagers — arrested in Midlands shooting incident
Three people, including two teens, have been charged in connection with a Midlands incident in which a person was shot and needed major surgery.
Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office arrested Lavontae Green, 21, and Deandre Green, 18, and charged them with attempted murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. A 16-year-old also has been charged in connection with the case. The 16-year-old’s name was withheld because of their age.
Sheriff Leroy Ravenell said an Orangeburg County man was shot as he sat in a car on Corona Street during the incident, which happened Nov. 17.
“Unfortunately for this victim, it is believed he wasn’t even the target,” Ravenell said in a statement. “This demonstrates the lack of any concern these individuals have for human life.”
Authorities said the shooting “resulted in major surgery being performed to keep the victim alive.”
