Richland County sheriff seeks identity of wheelchair-bound man seen at Pandora dance club

Richland County authorities hope the public can help identify a wheelchair-bound man, and the man pushing him, who were seen early July 15 at the Pandora Dance club on Bush River Road.

Authorities believe the two men might be able to help in an investigation of gunfire that erupted at the club around 2:30 a.m., Richland County Sheriff Len Lott said in a news release.

An unknown gunman fired multiple shots into the air at the club located at 830 Bush River Road. Although there were no reports of injuries, a melee ensued as club patrons and employees fled the scene. A vehicle in the club’s parking lot was struck by a stray bullet and the windshield damaged, the sheriff said.

The wheelchair-bound man is described as a black male with shoulder-length dreadlocks last seen wearing a red and white T-shirt.
