Four more South Carolina men have been arrested on charges related to an Oct. 12 fatal shooting in Elberton, Ga., during a homecoming afterparty.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation announced it had arrested 20-year-old Destan Mathis; Anidras Parks, 18; Jeremiah Hughes, 19; and Desmond Latimer, 18, last week. All four are residents of nearby Anderson, South Carolina, and face murder and gang charges. Mathis and Latimer are also charged with criminal mischief, while Parks and Hughes are also charged with aggravated assault and aggravated battery.
More than a dozen shots were fired at the 7 Grand nightclub, where many teenagers had gathered after a high school homecoming in Elbert County. Bry’shun Treviyus O’Brian Jordan, 15, of Hartwell, was killed. Four other teenagers were shot and three other teenagers were wounded but not shot, officials said.
Investigators previously arrested Jarquavious Scott, 18, of Anderson, charging him with murder, aggravated assault, aggravated battery and violating Georgia’s anti-gang law.
It’s unclear if any of the men have lawyers to speak on their behalf.
Investigators have not discussed why they believe the shooting happened.
