Police arrested a third juvenile Saturday in connection with the March 10 shooting that left a teenage victim fighting for his life.
The 15-year-old male arrested Saturday was charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a gun, aggravated battery with a gun, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and participating in criminal gang activity, according to Bulloch County Jail records.
Two other teens, each 16, were already in custody; as well as Reginald Hagins, 18, Harvey Wilson Road, Portal, and Myron Eugene Johnson, 17, Lindsay Court.
Police are offering a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest of Dante Ravon Williams, 17, who remains at large.
Three victims suffered gunshot wounds after offenders opened fire March 10 at Luetta Moore Park, formerly known as Blitch Street Park. One, Gregory Lee Wallace, 15, suffered multiple gunshot wounds during what police say was a gang-related attack, and has had one leg amputated at the hip, according to testimony given in court April 6 by Statesboro Police Det. Ken Scott during a preliminary hearing for the case.
Two others — Gregtavious Wallace, 19, and Garrett Taylor — both who are Gregory Lee Wallace’s brothers, suffered wounds as well. Their wounds were superficial, police said.
Keisha Taylor, Gregory Lee Wallace’s mother, said Tuesday her son is improving and beginning to respond better, although he still has a trach tube in his throat and “you got to look at his lips to see what he is saying.”
According to testimony given by Scott during the preliminary hearing, the shootings stem from gang rivalry between two groups called “The Bottom Boys” and “The Squad.”
The altercation was an extension of an argument between two teens at school, and escalated afterwards, when several teens and others made plans to attend a fight slated to take place later that evening at the park, Scott said during testimony.
He described what he saw upon arrival at the scene March 10, telling the court how he arrived at the scene around 8:25 p.m. , “about the same time Bulloch County EMS arrived,” and saw 20-year-old Gregtavian Wallace lying on the ground bleeding from his leg. He said he could not see 15-year-old Gregory Wallace’s injuries due to EMT’s treating him, but said the juvenile victim was not conscious.
Scott said the victims were surrounded by a crowd of people who witnessed the shooting.
Statesboro Police Capt. Scott Brunson said anyone who provides information leading to William’s apprehension could receive the $500 reward. Anyone with information is asked to call 764-9911. All calls will remain confidential, he said.
