Augusta Man Arrested in Deadly Shooting Outside Red Crab

-

An Augusta man was arrested for murder and another was sought for questioning in Friday’s deadly shooting outside the Red Crab on Peach Orchard Road in Augusta.

Ashaad Truitt, victim

Ray Terell Streetman, 24, of Augusta, was charged Monday with murder, aggravated assault and weapon possession. The shooting killed 31-year-old Ashaad “Shaad” Truitt of Miles Street and injured a 28-year-old Augusta woman, who suffered an injury to the right leg.

In addition to the arrest, authorities are seeking 30-year-old Albert Jennings for questioning in the killing. He is known to frequent the Wylds Road area and Waynesboro, according to authorities. Jennings is believed to be driving a newer model silver Ford Mustang.

Any information concerning the location of this subject, please contact Inv. Sean Morrow (706) 432-5281 or any Violent Crimes Investigator at the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office (706) 821-1020 or (706) 821-1080.

No motive has been given for the shootings.

The murder suspect is the same Ray Streetman who was wanted for questioning for a May 2021 aggravated assault on Tamarind Way. There are no records that he was ever arrested in that case.
