The investigation into the shootout last month has escalated, with more individuals now facing felony charges. As reported by FOX 5 Atlanta, law enforcement officials are on the hunt for two additional suspects believed to be connected to the violence that unfolded in Ellis Square on the night of May 18, where 11 victims ended up in the line of fire, nobody was fatally wounded, and they were subsequently discharged from the hospital after receiving treatment for their injuries.
The recent arrest of Jacorey Daronte Porter, aged 30, has brought the count to five detainees linked to the incident, he faces four counts of aggravated assault aside from illegal weapon possession charges, according to Savannah police spokesman Neil Penttila. The search is still ongoing for two men tied to the May melee, who remain at large, with warrants out for their arrest on aggravated assault among other allegations. Details surrounding the case continue to emerge.
It was an altercation between two women that precipitated the gunfire. Savannah Police Chief Lenny Gunther shared with the public how the squabble quickly devolved into multiple shooters partaking in the violent act.
Amidst efforts to locate and address all parties involved, defense attorney Mary Susan Robichaux has not yet issued a statement about her client's latest charges, according to information provided by AP News.
