DORCHESTER COUNTY, S.C. (WCSC) - Investigators have identified a man wanted in a shooting that killed one person and injured another in Dorchester County on Friday morning.

The Dorchester County Sheriff’s Office is looking for 19-year-old Jeremiah Da Shawn Wright on charges of murder and attempted murder in a shooting that authorities say was the result of a domestic incident inside a home in Archdale.

Wright is considered armed and dangerous as the firearm used in the incident has not been recovered, according to deputies. If you have any information you are asked to call Det. Hinson at (843) 832-0010 ext. 5095.

At 11:14 a.m., DCSO deputies with assistance from police officers with North Charleston responded to a home on Mansfield Boulevard in Archdale. According to the sheriff’s office, there was a “frantic” 911 call reporting that two people had been wounded by gunfire.

When authorities arrived on scene, they located the two victims.

One victim was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The second victim was pronounced deceased at the scene.

“They have determined this shooting was the result of a domestic incident inside the residence,” the sheriff’s office said.
