Update: Sheriff's Office investigates shooting incident in Northern Beaufort County

The victim of a drive-by shooting Monday night outside of Seabrook was a teenager, according to the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office.

The male victim suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his lower body on Stuart Point Road around 7:30 p.m., Capt. Bob Bromage said, and was taken to Beaufort Memorial Hospital for treatment.

His injuries are non-life-threatening, according to a Sheriff's Office news release.

The victim told investigators he was shot as he stood by the road by an occupant of a tan "older and small" vehicle that drove by with at least two African American males inside, Bromage said.

A motive for the shooting has yet to be established as the investigation continues, Bromage said.

No suspects have been identified.

Anyone with information can call investigator Andrew Rice at 843-255-3429.
