ROCKINGHAM — One of two men accused in an afternoon shooting at a convenience store is now in custody.
According to the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office, 23-year-old Shaquan Hykeem Chambers, of Fifth Street Safie turned himself in on Monday.
Records show he was booked into the Richmond County Jail at 4:42 p.m. June 28, where he is being held under a $1 million secured bond.
According to the sheriff’s office, a deputy was flagged down around 5:40 p.m. June 18 at Henna Corner, at the intersection of Mill Road and Long Drive.
The deputy soon discovered that a shooting had just happened in the parking lot and that one person was injured, according to investigators. The victim was treated and released at a local hospital.
A white car was loaded onto a rollback and several evidence markers were seen in the parking lot.
Chambers and 19-year-old Jishen Shyheim Dumas of Laurel Hill were charged in the shooting.
Chambers is charged with one count each of attempted first-degree murder, going armed to the terror of the public and discharging a weapon into an occupied vehicle.
Investigators say Dumas was driving a red Kia four-door, which has damage to the right front of the vehicle and a missing rear bumper.
The case is still under investigation and deputies are still working to identify a third person in the vehicle.
Anyone with information on Dumas’ whereabouts is encouraged to call 911 or Richmond County Crime Stoppers at 910-997-5454.
Records with the N.C. Department of Public Safety show Chambers was convicted in 2015 of misdemeanor larceny in Wake County.
All defendants facing criminal charges are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
