Another unidentified man was also shot and sustained a non-life-threatening injury.

The night of the shooting Chatham County District Attorney (DA) Shalena Jones told immediate actions needs to be taken to harbor the safety of Chatham County’s youth.

“It’s just something that keeps me up at night,” said DA Jones, “It’s something that’s become premiere importance to us especially in the wake of the Oglethorpe Mall shooting.”

spoke to some neighbors, and though no one was willing to speak on camera, we learned the victim was shot near the 400 building, his home where he lived with his family.

Two nights later, Saturday Sept. 20, gunfire was reported in the exact same area.

Throughout the weekend, SPD monitored the complex and their presence remained throughout Monday.

There is no word on who shot the teenager yet, but DA Jones said the incident is emblematic of a greater problem in the area: youth and guns.

“It does speak to the fact that not 90 days ago I was standing in front of a camera in the wake of the Oglethorpe Mall shooting and talking about young people in our community having their hands on guns and the layer that we’re concerned about even more,” she said, “It’s not just about young shooters and young victims. It’s the danger to the public.”

DA Jones has also called for a curfew for youth under the age of 18.

We asked SPD if a suspect has been identified and caught, and a spokesperson said no further information will be released at this time.
