Last night at approx. 10:00 PM, deputies responded to a shooting at 190 ½ Pickens Ave., Chesnee, SC, 29323.
Upon arrival, they found a male victim who had been shot in the head. Witnesses provided the suspect’s name and a description of his vehicle.
Another deputy responding to the scene saw suspect’s vehicle and attempted to stop it, but suspect failed to stop and led deputies on a lengthy chase before abandoning the vehicle behind the Brookwood Inn on College Dr.
A perimeter was established, and our canine deputies attempted a track that didn’t produce any results.
After taking statements from the witnesses on the scene, a violent crimes investigator presented the results of his investigation to a magistrate judge, who approved warrants on the suspect for Attempted Murder and Possession of a Weapon During the Commission of a Violent Crime.
The suspect is Willie Earl Robinson, 56 years old, 4930 College Dr., Spartanburg, SC, 29301. All efforts to locate him since last night’s incident have been unsuccessful; so this agency is seeking the public’s assistance in attempting to locate him.
Anyone with any information is urged to call 911, since Robinson should be considered armed and dangerous. Tipsters can also provide information by calling Sgt. Jon Guest at (864) 503-4595 or emailing him at jguest@spartanburgcounty.org.
