ROCKINGHAM — A second suspect in a shooting last month has been apprehended.
The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office announced Thursday that 19-year-old Jishen Shyheim Dumas of Laurel Hill turned himself in to deputies on Wednesday, June 30.
Records show Dumas was booked into the Richmond County Jail at 9:06 p.m. on charges of attempted first-degree murder and discharging a weapon into an occupied dwelling or vehicle. 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. Friday, June 18 at Henna Corner, at the intersection of Mill Road and Long Drive in East Rockingham.
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.
Dumas and 23-year-old Shaquan Hykeem Chambers are charged in the shooting.
Chambers, who turned himself in June 28, 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, and is also being held on a $1 million secured bond.
The case is still under investigation and deputies are still working to identify a third person in the vehicle.
Anyone with information on that suspect is encouraged to call 911 or Richmond County Crime Stoppers at 910-997-5454.
