At least three juveniles and one 18-year-old have been identified in connection with recent shootings, according to the Brunswick Police Department.
BRUNSWICK, Ga. — In a development announced on Wednesday, the Brunswick Police Department has charged several teenagers in relation to two shooting incidents that occurred in March.
The first shooting took place on Sunday, March 22, prompting a swift police response to a shots-fired call at the Brooklyn Homes North apartments located on Stonewall Street. Upon arrival, officers noted multiple cars had been damaged, and there was noticeable structural damage to one of the buildings within the complex.
While officers were assessing the situation, a resident informed them of a second shooting incident near the 2400 block of Cleburne Street. Authorities believe this incident is connected to the initial call at the apartment complex.
Through surveillance footage, investigators identified two vehicles that may be linked to the shootings: a white Ford Escape and a dark-colored Buick LaCrosse. This evidence has been instrumental in the ongoing investigation.
The police department says that as of Wednesday, April 1, three juveniles have been identified and charged with aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of certain crimes, discharge of a firearm from a highway, criminal damage to property in the first degree, and possession of a firearm by a person under the age of 18. The three teens’ identities have not been revealed; however, they are currently in custody at the Department of Juvenile Justice.
An 18-year-old, LaDonte Roberts, was charged with three counts of aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of certain crimes, discharge of a firearm from a highway, and criminal damage to property in the first degree. Roberts is currently in custody with the Glynn County Sheriff’s Office.
While this case remains active, any information regarding the teens or incidents is asked to contact Detective Melissa Howell by calling 912-279-2606, or remain anonymous by calling the Silent Witness line 912-267-5516.
