MOULTRIE, Ga. — A Moultrie man was in critical condition on Monday afternoon at a Tallahassee hospital after being shot Sunday afternoon on Third Avenue Northwest.

It is not the first time that shooting victim Darren Savon Huntley’s name has come up in connection with violence in the city. He pleaded guilty in 2014 to shooting a man sitting in a car on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive outside Forest Creek Apartments. Since getting out of prison he has been charged in another shooting.

On Sunday, Moultrie police said, officers were dispatched to Colquitt Regional Medical Center after Huntley, 23, arrived there with a gunshot wound. The shooting reportedly occurred some time before 4 p.m. in the 400 block of Third Avenue Northwest.

Police said that Huntley was shot in the back. He told officers that he did not remember any details about what happened, Moultrie Police Department Maj. Tonero Bender said.

“He was walking down the street,” Bender said. “Next thing he knew he was shot in the back and fell to the ground.”

Bender said he could not say at this time whether someone drove Huntley to the hospital or arrived by ambulance due to the case being active.

Huntley was in critical condition on Monday at Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, a hospital spokeswoman said. Critical condition means that a patient’s vital signs are unstable and not within normal limits.

In 2014, Huntley pleaded guilty to an aggravated assault charge in the May 11, 2013 non-fatal shooting of 25-year-old Brenton Miller, and prosecutors dismissed a charge of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Miller was struck by two bullets while parked in the daytime in his car outside the apartment complex.

A Colquitt County Superior Court judge sentenced Huntley to two years in the Colquitt County Correctional Institution, 10 years’ probation and fined him $2,000. Prior to that occasion Huntley had no felony convictions, but in June 2016 police charged him in another shooting that again was not fatal.

Huntley was accused of shooting Monterrius Haynes on June 18 with a shotgun at Third Street and Third Avenue Northwest where several people had shot at Haynes on another occasion. He had bullets lodged in his head and elbow after the earlier attack.  

Police charged Huntley with aggravated assault in the second attack on Haynes.
