1 arrested after non-fatal shooting on Sumter's North Main Street

A Sumter man is in custody after a shooting that occurred Sunday night. 

At about 9:39 p.m., deputies responded to a North Main Street business after a call reported shots had been fired into an occupied vehicle. Upon arrival, deputies learned no one was injured, but the vehicle had several bullet holes, according to Mark Bordeaux, public information officer with Sumter County Sheriff's Office. 

The victim was inside the vehicle when the suspect fired rounds from another vehicle, Bordeaux said. After investigators gathered evidence and spoke with witnesses on Sunday, a warrant was served Monday morning for Ervin Tyrone Washington, 30, of White Street, who was taken into custody. A disagreement between Washington and the victim appeared to be the motive for the shooting, according to Bordeaux.

Washington was charged with attempted murder and is awaiting a bond hearing at Sumter County Sheriff's Office Detention Center, Bordeaux said.
