Search ends for ‘armed and dangerous’ teenager wanted after shooting, SC police say
The Batesburg-Leesville Police Department said its search for a Lexington County teenager previously called “armed and dangerous,” following a recent shooting has ended.
Police said 18-year-old Batesburg-Leesville resident Da’Jae Wigfall surrendered himself to officers at the police department, according to a Wednesday news release.
On May 10, officers responded to a report of a shooting at 102 South Pine Street, according to the release. That’s next to an Exxon gas station in a commercial area where several retail businesses and restaurants are located, about 2 miles from Shealy’s Bar-B-Que.
Officers found a man in a parking lot who had been shot, police said.
The victim was taken to Lexington Medical Center suffering a non-life-threatening injury, according to the release. Further information on the victim’s condition was not available.
Wigfall, who turned himself in to officers Tuesday night, was charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime, according to the release.
There was no word on a motive for the shooting.
On Wednesday, Wigfall’s bond was set at $100,000 during a hearing at the Batesburg-Leesville Judicial Complex, police said. He was then taken to the Lexington County Detention Center where he remains incarcerated, jail records show.
