The shooter remains at large. News Channel 7 reports that “more detailed information about a suspect or suspects” will not be released until further investigation has been conducted by deputies.

The two people with injuries are expected to recover.

On New Year’s Day, we reported a shooting at Cora’s Social Club in which three individuals sustained gunshot wounds.  Much like Club Roka on South Pleasantburg Drive, Cora’s seems to attract thugs with itchy trigger fingers.

I’m not a fan of early morning trips to the ER (or possibly the Coroner’s Office), so I’ll be sticking to Wal-Mart and the Mickey Dee’s drive-thru for my late night entertainment needs.

A man who allegedly fled from the scene of a wreck yesterday was captured by Mauldin police today after a brief chase, authorities said.

The state Highway Patrol had asked the police department to check the man’s residence at Summer Wood Condominiums on Butler Road in Mauldin.

The subject ran from police but was apprehended late this morning and released to the Highway Patrol for further investigation, according to the Mauldin Police Department.

What a great plan. Commit a crime in the vehicle registered to you then hide in the house you are known to live in. He should have just left a note telling the cops he’d meet them at the county jail.

GREENVILLE, SC – The South Carolina Highway Patrol is trying to find a driver who they say left the scene after striking a pedestrian Thursday night in Greenville.

Troopers say Daniel Tejeda, 47, was hit on South Washington Avenue at 9:08pm. Tejeda – who is from Simpsonville – was transported to Greenville Hospital System.

His condition is not known.

Troopers say Tejeda was on the sidewalk when a northbound vehicle hit him, struck and a manhole cover and fence, then left the scene on U.S. Highway 123.

The vehicle was described as a white possibly older model car. It may be a 1980’s Lincoln Towncar or Continental. The SCHP says the car would have damage to the front.

There’s a video report at the link that has a surveillance photo of the car. If you have any information call Crime Stoppers at 23-CRIME.

Deputies had gotten a call just prior to the shooting that there was a fight inside the club.

All three victims ended up at Greenville Hospital.  Two drove themselves, one was driven by a friend.

The Sheriff’s Office says all three victims told investigators they did not know each other, nor the shooter.  Deputies say one victim told them the shooter was a “young, light skinned black male who had been thrown out of the club just prior to the incident.“

The three victims were treated for the following injuries:

A 21-year-old man was wounded in his left thigh and right ankle. A 25-year-old man was wounded in his left knee. A 27-year-old man was wounded in his right thigh and left ring finer.

Witnesses were unhelpful in providing a more detailed description of the shooter.

Police said the suspect swung a pair of scissors at a worker who tried to detain him for shoplifting at a Wal-Mart on 6134 White Horse Road, according to warrants. The suspect then forced a man from his silver 2004 Toyota Camry, a warrant said. Deputies pursued the suspect in a brief car chase before he crashed into a tree on Sumter Street, said Lt. Scott Wilson of the Greenville County Sherriff’s Office.

During the chase, Salter reportedly hit several vehicles. One person had to be hospitalized, deputies said.  WYFF4 spoke to witnesses at the scene:

Witnesses said police eventually used a Taser to subdue Salter.

“When he made the left, he couldn’t make it,” said Gary Stokes. “He skidded on rubber on one tire gone and went under the fence. I went out the back door and jumped the fence to see where he was while they were chasing him.”

Salter is being held at Greenville County Detention Center.  Inmate holds indicate he was wanted in connection with fraud involving Anderson County Bank and a shoplifting and assault in Greer. Charges pending as of 9:30 p.m. Saturday included forgery, two counts of armed robbery, possessing a weapon during a violent crime, shoplifting, trespassing, carjacking, driving under suspension, and failure to stop for a blue light.

Salter is expected back in court on Feb. 26, 2010.

News Channel 7 provided the following photos of the suspects:

The Sheriff’s Office Armed Robbery Unit is assigned to this case and has signed ten warrants on Downer charging him with three counts of Armed Robbery and Kidnapping, two counts of Assault with Intent to Kill, and one count each of Criminal Conspiracy and Possession of a Weapon during a Violent Crime. Warrants have also been issued for Mitchell charging her with three counts of Armed Robbery and Kidnapping, with one count of Criminal Conspiracy.

Frederick Downer and Cassandra Mitchell may be armed. If you have any information regarding their whereabouts, please contact the Greenville County Sheriff’s office or Crime Stoppers at 23-CRIME.

The chase started on West Blue Ridge Drive, near White Horse Road. According to a Sheriff’s Office spokesman, a car was stopped and a man jumped out and ran. The unidentified man has led police on a near three hour foot pursuit through the area and near the Woodside community.

A search perimeter was set up in the area near Arch Street between Pendleton Road and West Blue Ridge Drive, off White Horse Road, Fox Carolina reports. The search included Greenville County Sheriff’s deputies and K-9 units.

The suspect has not been identified and may be armed.

The search was called off before midnight.

Update, Dec. 15, 2009:

[Jerry Marsh, the driver of the vehicle, has been charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. His bond was set at $2,500.  The suspect still being sought by authorities is 18-year-old Frederick Downer of Greenville.  He is also suspected in the shooting that occurred Sunday on White Horse Road.]

The victim of the wreck has been identified as Kandys Darlene Batson, 25, of Lyman.

Troopers said she was not wearing a seat belt. Batson was partially ejected and the Honda came to rest on her upper body, the coroner said. The medical examiner said she died from blunt force trauma to the chest.

James Duck was also not wearing a seat belt.  He is being held at the Greenville County Detention Center, and has been charged with driving under the influence resulting in death and leaving the scene of an accident involving a death.

WYFF4 notes that records indicate Duck and Batson shared the same address. It is unclear if they were married, although sources confirmed Batson was married.

Update, Dec. 9, 2009: [Reader Holli confirms what one of our sources  says: Duck and Batson were cousins. Sometimes alcohol runs thicker than blood.]

The car was westbound on Tugaloo Road off State 11 at 7:40 p.m. when it went off the left side and ejected the female passenger, whose name wasn’t immediately available, said Lance Cpl. Kathy Hiles.

The driver of the 1991 Honda Accord left the scene of the accident on foot.   Lance Cpl. Hiles of the South Carolina Highway Patrol described the driver as a white male wearing a white t-shirt with cut-out sleeves, according to News Channel 7. The vehicle had a temporary paper tag which was slowing down the efforts to identify the driver Monday night.
