LEXINGTON, S.C. (WOLO)– Investigators are searching for suspects involved in a Oct. 9 shooting that happened at the Reserve at Mill Landing apartments in Lexington.

Authorities say witnesses saw two black males run into nearby woods and that a white or silver sedan was seen in the area around the time of the incident.
