NEWBERRY, S.C. — Three Saluda County residents now face charges in the early Saturday gunfire that wounded four people at a block party on Wise Street, the Newberry Police Department said.

Jakevion Lott, 19, and Jamyous Brooks, 17, are each accused of assault along with a string of gun counts, among them firing into a home and into a car. A third man, Victavis Gaines, 19, was booked on breach of peace and on a count of pointing and presenting a firearm.

Officers sent to the scene near Holloway Street found four people hurt. All four went to Newberry Health and Prisma Health for care, and police have not shared an update on how they are doing.

Police Chief Kevin Goodman said the three came into the city and put a whole neighborhood at risk. Detectives are going through hours of surveillance video and expect to make more arrests.

Criminal cases from Newberry County go to the Eighth Circuit Solicitor’s Office, which also covers Abbeville, Greenwood and Laurens counties. People with tips can call the department at 803-321-1010.
