One person is dead after a shooting Wednesday afternoon along Port Royal Road in Anderson, South Carolina, with deputies saying the violence appears to have grown out of a domestic disturbance. One person has been detained in connection with the case, though authorities have not released that person's identity.
The shooting happened around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, according to Fox Carolina, which reported that officials believe the incident stemmed from a domestic disturbance. The victim was identified as 44-year-old Adger Luther Stamey, officials told the outlet.
Deputies Say Threat Was Contained
The Anderson County Sheriff's Office was on scene of the reported shooting, according to WSPA. A person had been detained, though their identity had not been released, the station reported. The incident was isolated, WYFF reported, while Fox Carolina reported deputies said there was no danger to the community at that time.
WYFF also confirmed deputies responded to a fatal shooting in Anderson, reporting that the Anderson County Sheriff's Office said the incident occurred on Port Royal Road and that one person was detained, per deputies. Officials told the station no additional details were available at that time.
Investigation Remains Active
Fox Carolina noted the case remains an active investigation, and no further information about the circumstances of the shooting or the relationship between those involved had been released as of Wednesday evening. No formal charges had been announced, though potential charges were being considered; the initially detained person had been interviewed and released.
Anderson has seen deadly shootings tied to domestic or interpersonal disputes before. In a separate case last year, the Anderson County Coroner's Office identified a victim as 45-year-old Kevin Edwards, who died at AnMed Hospital at 11:36 p.m. after suffering a gunshot wound to the chest, according to Fox Carolina's earlier reporting. Officials said at the time that the shooting, at the Jefferson Apartments, was not connected to another shooting incident in Anderson happening around the same period. Wednesday's case remains under investigation, and officials have not indicated whether it is connected to any other incident.
