AUGUSTA, GA (WFXG) -
Flashing blue lights lit up the Old McDuffie neighborhood
Saturday night as investigators combed through a crime scene.
Richmond County
investigators say De'John Grant, 20, was shot and killed on Dublin Drive at
about 7:30.
Another man was with him
during the shooting and he ran from the vehicle and through a backyard; but he
was shot down on Drayton Drive. He was rushed to the hospital in critical
condition.
Richmond County investigators haven't made any arrests
for the shooting.
They tell Fox54 there is at least one person who is still
armed with a weapon and dangerous.
Sunday all that remained of
the crime scene was shattered glass and blood stains.
Life almost seemed to go on
as if nothing happened, children played near the spot where Grant was
killed.
Fox54 went through the neighborhood for several hours and
spoke with about two dozen residents, all of them refused to go on camera.
They were afraid if they spoke out about the violence -
then they too would become victims.
As for motive for the shooting, investigators say they're
still trying to determine what led to the death of one man and the serious
injury of another.
They're continuing to
investigate what they're calling a high priority case, so they can find the
people responsible for pulling the trigger.
