Here are Tuesday’s developments in the investigation into the weekend drive-by shooting death of 8-year-old Arbrie Anthony in Augusta:
- RCSO SAYS NO ARRESTS MADE: At mid-morning, a sheriff’s spokesman said despite some media reports, “we have questioned individuals regarding this case that remains ongoing. However, at this time, we have made no arrests in relation to the homicide.”
- THE SUSPECT CAR HAS NOT BEEN FOUND: “Not yet,” a spokesman said. The Jail Report passed along a reader tip to law enforcement about a car parked in Aiken that matched the description.
- TRAFFIC STOP IN GROVETOWN: Several media outlets reported earlier that Grovetown Public Safety assisted U.S. Marshals and the Richmond County Sheriff’s Office with a traffic stop of a white Dodge Charger at a Jiffy Lube that led to the apprehension of several suspects. Those suspects have not been charged in the murder, however there are reports that officers found several weapons during the stop, and the investigation is continuing.
