Statesboro Police made a third arrest Friday in connection to a shooting incident that happened Tuesday, but are still seeking 17-year-old Dante Ravon Williams, who police said is one of two suspects who actually fired shots. One victim, a 15-year-old, remains in critical condition after suffering multiple gunshot wounds. Friday, police charged Reginald Kentay Hagins, 18, Harvey Wilson Road, Portal, with participation in criminal street gang activity, aggravated battery and two counts of aggravated assault, said Capt. Scott Brunson.Officers are still aggressively hunting Williams, who has been rumored to be hiding in Savannah, Statesboro and other areas of Bulloch County, he said.Williams “will be found,” he said. "We will continue to look for him. We will continue to turn over every rock and knock on every door until he is located.”Police searched areas around Butler Homes on Johnson Street and other locations Williams had been said to be hiding Thursday, he said. Citizens have been phoning in tips and Brunson said he hopes the information will continue.
Anyone helping Williams hide is breaking the law and will be prosecuted, he said.
“Anyone found harboring Williams will face criminal charges brought forth by our department.”Brunson said a third victim has surfaced during active investigation of the shooting, which took place around 8:23 p.m. Tuesday at Luetta Moore Park on Church Street.A 15-year-old remains in critical condition and was transported to the Medical College of Georgia in Augusta Thursday, Brunson said. He is in the hospital’s shock and trauma unit with gunshot wounds to his leg and abdomen.
All three victims are brothers, he said.Gregtavian Wallace, 19, is listed in stable condition, and a third victim, Garrett Consetion Taylor, 21, James Street, suffered a “superficial flesh wound in the side,” he said.
So far, police have made four arrests in the shootings: two 16-year-olds, one charged with aggravated battery, aggravated assault,
possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, carrying a concealed weapon and participation in a criminal street gang
and the second charged with aggravated battery, aggravated assault, giving false statements to police officers and participation in a criminal street gang.
Both are being held at the Claxton Regional Youth Detention Center, according to Statesboro Police Chief Stan York.In addition to Hagins and the juveniles, police also arrested Myron Eugene Johnson, 17, on charges of aggravated battery, aggravated assault, giving false statements to police officers and participation in criminal gang activity.Brunson said additional charges of aggravated assault will be added to each suspect due to Taylor’s being identified as a third victim. Taylor did not immediately report his minor injury to police because he was concerned about his brother’s more serious injuries, he said.
