On the morning of Nov. 18, a uniformed patrol officer in a shopping center at 4435 Jefferson Davis Highway heard gunshots coming from the area of Fairview Road, and while in the area, saw a red sedan traveling at a high rate of speed, according to the Sheriff's Office. The vehicle fled the scene after the officer attempted to stop the car, Capt. Eric Abdullah said.
A short while later, police responded to 1034 Fairview Road after someone called 911 in reference to a shooting incident.
When police arrived, they found a teenage victim, later identified as Shores, in the living room unconscious where a large pool of blood had formed beneath him, according to a police report.
Another teenage victim, 16, told police both were playing video games when three unknown subjects entered the home through an unlocked front door, and they were each armed with handguns and were wearing masks, the report said.
The victim told police one suspect fired his gun several times in one of the victim's general direction, while another approached the second victim and struck him several times in the face with the blunt end of his firearm, police reported.
The suspects left the home with a PlayStation 4 and fled the scene while firing additional rounds into the home, police reported.
Shores was pronounced dead at 9:15 a.m. Saturday at Augusta University Medical Center, according to Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton.
