Two men have been charged with Attempted Murder and other related charges after shooting into a residence on Duckett Avenue just outside the Town of Whitmire.

On September 16 at about 10:30pm, the four victims including two children, some inside and some outside the home, reported to the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office that someone drove by their residence and fired 6-7 shots at them and their home. Several of the rounds struck the home; however, none of the victims were struck by the gun fire. The vehicle fled the area; however, a witness was able to identify the vehicle and provided that information to law enforcement.

A short time later, there was second shots fired call this time on Sinclair Avenue in the Town of Whitmire. Deputies with the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office as well as an officer from the Whitmire Police Department responded and located the suspect vehicle, which was involved in both incidents.

Based on their follow up investigation, the deputies were able to identify the suspects involved in the shooting. They also located two .22 caliber weapons and ammunition believed to be used in the shooting in the immediate area of the home where the vehicle was located.

Arrest warrants were obtained for both suspects and they were arrested last night. The investigation into the case is ongoing and additional arrests are probable.

Both suspect are charged with Attempted Murder, Breach of Peace, Conspiracy, and Possession of a Weapon During a Violent Crime. A bond hearing will held later today.

Trevarious Tyquan Elliot, 22, of 35 Abrams Trail, Whitmire, SC
Danny Isaiah Gray, 19, 440 Hunter Road, Whitmire SC

Elliot was also charged with Simple Possession of Marijuana when marijuana was found on his person when he was arrested.
