Savannah Police Probe Two Friday Night Shootings, One Dead and One Injured

Police ask for tips to advance both cases.

Overview

  • The first shooting, which unfolded Friday outside Dave's Hot Chicken at the Victory Crossings center on East Victory Drive, left a man who later died.
  • At that Victory Drive scene, investigators detained a person of interest and said they recovered a weapon, though police have not confirmed whether an apparent firearm seen under a car was involved.
  • Hours later, SPD said at 8:18 p.m. it responded to a separate shooting near Chambers Street and Bowden Street that injured an adult man.
  • WJCL crews reported a large police presence at the Chambers and Bowden scene, and officials have not released suspect details or what led up to that shooting.
  • Detectives are investigating both incidents and ask anyone with information to contact CrimeStoppers at 912-234-2020 or through the mobile app.
