A person was injured in a shooting near a motel on North Main Street in Anderson on Thursday, and police are still piecing together what happened. The victim was found near the Horizon Inn and Suites and rushed out of the county for treatment, according to officials.
Victim Found Near Motel, Taken to Greenville County
The Anderson Police Department is investigating a shooting that left one person injured on Thursday, according to officials cited by FOX Carolina News. The outlet reported that the victim was found near Horizon Inn and Suites on North Main Street before being transported to Greenville County for treatment. FOX Carolina said its crews were en route to the scene as the investigation unfolded.
Separately, the station's report on the North Main Street case was corroborated by another local account confirming the location. WSPA reported that the Anderson Police Department said the incident occurred at the Horizon Inn & Suites on North Main Street, matching the scene described by officials. That outlet also reported that the Anderson County Coroner’s Office said it had not been called to the scene at the time of its report, a detail that speaks to the condition of the investigation in its earliest hours.
What Remains Unknown
As of the latest reporting, authorities had not released the victim's name, age, or condition, nor had they identified a suspect or described a motive. The exact time and precise location of the shooting beyond the reported vicinity of the motel have also not been established in the available reporting.
This is not the first time the Horizon Inn has come up in connection with a violent crime investigation in Anderson. The Independent Mail reported that Nydriques Cunningham was arrested in connection with the shooting death of 36-year-old Demone Devaux in Anderson, and that a search warrant executed on August 11 at the Horizon Inn turned up additional evidence tied to that case. The available evidence does not establish any connection between that earlier case and Thursday's shooting, and no further detail links the two incidents beyond sharing the same motel.
Anderson police have not released additional information about Thursday's shooting, and no charges or arrests tied to this incident have been reported. Hoodline will update this story as more verified details become available.
