MOULTRIE — A woman reported witnessing a person being shot at from a car Thursday afternoon.
A Moultrie police officer was called to a house on Third Avenue Northwest at 4:56 p.m. Thursday about a shooting. The officer spoke with a witness, who stated she saw a car pass by her house three times before it stopped at her neighbor’s house on Third Avenue Northwest.
The witness stated a male went up to the car and began speaking to the driver. She stated the man had previously been speaking to a woman who was inside another car before he went to that car.
After the two men exchanged a few words, the witness stated the driver began shooting at the other man. The man in the yard ducked and ran from the car as it left the scene, with the driver continuing to fire out of the passenger window.
The incident was the latest in a string of violent incidents that have taken place in Moultrie and Colquitt County within a week and a half.
A Moultrie police car was hit by a bullet in the 400 block of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive Oct. 21. No one was injured, although the bullet missed the officer driving the car by about 18 inches.
Curtis Lee Coasey Jr., 29, was shot and killed Oct. 24, allegedly by Andre Duvar Richardson, 46, of 202 Sixth St. S.W. Richardson was apprehended later that day and remains in the Colquitt County Jail after being denied bond earlier this week.
Janneka Hamilton, 27, was stabbed about 25 times and remains in fair condition at Colquitt Regional Medical Center. Alvin Arnold, 29, of 710 Ninth Ave. S.E., was charged with aggravated assault, aggravated battery, false imprisonment and kidnapping. He also remains at the jail after being denied bond.
Seller Edwards was shot in the chest area with a shotgun during a home invasion at his house on Fifth Avenue Northwest early Wednesday morning. He was taken to Colquitt Regional Medical Center, but his condition has still not been released.
A Dairy Queen employee fought off a would-be robber at the restaurant Wednesday night, and Cody Armstrong of Omega was grazed by a bullet after being shot at by a would-be home invader, also Wednesday night.
