Three in custody after shooting at The Vault Apartment complex: Innocent bystander suffers wound inside his apartment

The Innocent 20-Year-Old Tenant May be Entitled to Compensation from the Vault Apartments AND THEIR INSURANCE COMPANY
Three teenagers are in custody today after an exchange of gunfire at a Statesboro apartment complex led to the wounding of a resident as he sat in his apartment.
According to a release from Statesboro Police Capt. Jared Akins, SPD officers patrolling in the area of Statesboro Place Circle heard multiple gunshots at 12:20 a.m. Sunday.
Officers searching the area discovered shell casings and damaged vehicles in the parking lot and in the common areas of The Vault’s 3 Building.
“Noting damage to an apartment’s window, officers discovered a 20-year-old male inside suffering from a gunshot wound to the torso,” Akins said in the release. “He was taken to East Georgia Regional Medical Center where he was treated and released after several hours of care.”
Akins said information provided by residents of the 3 Building led officers to a third-floor apartment in that building. Detectives issued a search warrant for that location and patrol officers secured all of the occupants, who were transported to the Statesboro Police Department for interviews. Also, detectives located two firearms inside the residence.
“After multiple interviews and the processing of the crime scene and apartment, detectives determined that the victim was an innocent third party,” Akins said. “An exchange of gunfire between two groups at the 3 Building resulted in a bullet entering the victim’s apartment and striking him.”
At this time, detectives have charged Shamarge Brown, 18, of Sylvania, and Aurico Delauder, 19, of Oak Hill MHP in Statesboro with aggravated assault. Also, 18-year-old Ar’Quise Newton of Lanier Drive is charged with false statements and writings.
Sunday’s shooting incident was the second at The Vault complex in the past two weeks. On April 17, a 17-year-old was shot and had to be flown to Memorial Medical Center in Savannah. Jayden Staley, 18, of Chandler Road, and a juvenile were charged with being parties to the crime of aggravated assault along with other, unrelated, offenses.

The Vault Apartments Shooting Statesboro: Tenant Shot in Bed
More from the Statesboro Herald:
After two recent incidents in which young men were wounded by gunfire at The Vault on Statesboro Place Circle, the city of Statesboro has issued a “notice of criminal activity” letter to the owners of the apartment complex and strongly suggested that they apply for a city grant and install security cameras.
City Attorney Cain Smith signed the letter, dated May 1, and City Manager Charles Penny informed the mayor and council at their Tuesday morning, May 7, regular meeting. The letter was addressed to Paracorp Inc. in Lawrenceville as registered agent for Statesboro United LLC, which owns the property.
The first line of the letter refers to “a recent spate of calls for service made by (the) Statesboro Police Department just this year” to the apartment complex.
“There have been 242 calls running the gamut from firearm discharges to aggravated assault,” Smith wrote. “Most of these calls were police initiated, but are certainly the direct result of problems at The Vault. In one recent incident a tenant was shot while lying in his bed.”
That April 28 incident also led to the arrests of three teenagers. Police determined that the 20-year resident hit by a bullet while inside his apartment was an innocent bystander, not involved in the exchange of gunfire.
“Noting damage to an apartment’s window, officers discovered a 20-year-old male inside suffering from a gunshot wound to the torso,” Akins said in the media release. “He was taken to East Georgia Regional Medical Center where he was treated and released after several hours of care.”
Akins said officers arrested the suspects inside a third-floor apartment in the 3 Building of The Vault.
Earlier April Shooting at The Vault Apartments Statesboro
- Less than two weeks earlier, on April 17, SPD officers were on patrol at 8:10 p.m. when they heard gunfire coming from The Vault apartment complex.
- “Two males, one juvenile and one adult, were detained running from the #3 Building at the Vault,” Akins said then.
- Officers also located a 17-year-old suffering from at least one gunshot wound to the torso. He was later flown to Memorial Medical Center in Savannah, Akins said. He has since been released.
- Jayden Staley, 18, of Chandler Road and a juvenile were arrested immediately after the incident and charged with being parties to the crime of aggravated assault along with other, unrelated, offenses.
- Jayvion Johnson, 18, of Savannah and Nasir Wilson, 17, of Park Place Apartments in Statesboro were later arrested and charged with aggravated assault.
The Vault Apartments Put on Notice
Citing a Georgia Supreme Court opinion, in the case Sturbridge Partners Ltd. V. Walker, as having “established that landlords can be found to be civilly liable for foreseeable criminal activity by others,” Smith in the city’s letter asserts, “Criminal activity has gone far beyond foreseeable all the way to likely and expected based on what we have seen so far this year.”
He stated that the letter had a two-fold purpose, “to absolutely establish landlord notice of criminal activity at The Vault” but also to remind the owners that the city has a grant program to help with the cost of security cameras in apartment complexes.
“We have seen major reductions in crime with installation of these cameras in other apartment complexes,” Smith wrote.
After asserting that the “criminal activity at The Vault is fast approaching nuisance level” and stating that previous requests by the city for controlled access points and cameras to be installed “have been rebuffed,” he added that a copy of the grant application form was being attached to the letter.
When Penny informed the mayor and council of the letter during the “city manager comments” time, it was actually the third matter addressing the security of apartment complexes during Tuesday’s meeting. He noted that the city does have nuisance ordinances it could seek to enforce.
“But we want to start by publicly saying that they are on notice, that this cannot continue,” Penny said. “They need to take advantage of technology and whatever else to reduce the crime situation in that complex.”
About 60% of the 242 calls counted the city’s letter were police-initiated calls, including walking patrols and drive-ups to shine a light and check the backs of buildings, Police Chief Mike Broadhead said after the meeting.
“We’re not trying to hold our activity against them, but the reason that we have to be there so much is that we’re concerned about the safety and security in there,” he said.
Broadhead mentioned some efforts the department has made to work with the management.
“We have provided them a couple of security surveys that go over, like, lighting and fence options and that kind of stuff,” he said. “We just want to work with them and keep that community as safe as possible.”
