Washington Arrested For Attempted Murder, Other Charges
The Newberry County Sheriff’s Office announces the arrest of Shakel Demarcuis Washington, 29, for Attempted Murder, Breach of Peace High and Aggravated Nature, and Possession of a Weapon During the Commission of a Violent Crime.
Washington was taken into custody on October 15, 2021 in the State of New Jersey without incident and is being detained at the Essex County Correctional Facility.
This arrest comes after an early morning shooting on September 19, 2021. The Newberry County Sheriff’s Office responded to a call for shots fired on Folk Street in the Pomaria section of Newberry County.
When Deputies arrived, they could not find any cooperating witnesses at what was described as a block party. During the investigation, a 28-year-old victim called 911 and reported being shot and was driving to Newberry Hospital for medical treatment.
Investigators were able to speak with the victim who identified Shakel Demarcuis Washington as the person who committed the shooting. It appears the shooting stemmed from a past incident between Washington and the victim. There were no other reported injuries.
On October 21, 2021, Washington went before a New Jersey Superior Court Judge and Waived his Rights to Extradition.
The Newberry County Sheriff’s Office and the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) traveled to New Jersey and brought Washington back to Newberry County to face his charges. Washington was to appear before a Newberry County Magistrate this morning.
