SPD investigating shooting that left one dead and two injured

Statesboro police are investigating a shooting Monday that left one person dead and two others injured by gunfire.
According to a statement released Tuesday by Capt. Jared Akins, SPD officers were called to Cambridge at the Pines Apartments on Lanier Drive in Statesboro on Monday at 5:30 p.m. for reports of shots fired.
“While these officers were still en route to the Pines, two adult males arrived at East Georgia Regional Medical Center with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds,” Akins said in the release. “When officers arrived in Pines, they located an adult male with a gunshot wound and began rendering aid.”
Shortly after arriving, Bulloch County Emergency Medical Services determined the man was deceased. Akins said detectives then went to the Pines complex and hospital to begin the criminal investigation.
“During the evening, detectives determined that the surviving males had left the Pines after being shot and that they and the deceased male were related,” Akins said. “At this stage of the investigation, it appears that an argument between the identified individuals resulted in shots fired.”
Akins said the identities of the parties involved will not be released at this time pending further investigation. Other releases will follow as the case progresses, he said.
Officers from the Georgia Southern University Police Department and deputies from the Bulloch County Sheriff's Office helped secure the scene and “their assistance is greatly appreciated,” Akins said.
