LEXINGTON, S.C. – A teen, his mother and his uncle face multiple charges following a weekend shooting that injured two people Saturday night in Swansea.
Jacob Edward Fuller, 19, is charged with two counts of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, two counts of discharging a firearm into a vehicle, two counts of pointing and presenting a firearm, and one count of possession of a weapon during a violent crime, according to arrest warrants.
Christal Renee Wise-Fuller, 43, is charged with two counts of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, and two counts of discharging a firearm into a vehicle, according to arrest warrants.
Raymond Louis Wise, 44, is charged with two counts of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, two counts of discharging a firearm into a vehicle, one count of pointing and presenting a firearm, and one count of possession of a weapon during a violent crime, according to arrest warrants.
“The shooting Saturday night was the result of a back-and-forth between two groups of teenagers that started near the three suspects’ homes on Bub Wise Road in Swansea,” Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said. “Based on what investigators have pieced together through interviews, about a dozen minors showed up at Fuller’s home to support a friend who was rumored to be fighting Fuller.”
Fuller and Wise fired shots in the air shortly after the crowd arrived, which prompted the teens to leave, according to Koon.
“Wise chased after the teens in his car, and Fuller jumped in a truck driven by his mother,” Koon said. “They pursued the teens for about 10-15 minutes throughout Swansea and eventually fired shots at them as they were driving.”
Two people and three vehicles were hit with shotgun pellets, according to Koon. Both shooting victims suffered minor wounds.
Fuller, Wise-Fuller and Wise were arrested Saturday night in Swansea. They are being held in the Lexington County Detention Center.
