One man arrested, second sought in most recent murder


web posted December 31, 2007
AUGUSTA – Richmond County Investigators have arrested one suspect in the murder of an Augusta man whose partially burned body was found in North Augusta Thursday morning. Authorities are looking for a second suspect in the case.  Corwin Lee was reported missing last Sunday. Lee left the Super Inn on Gordon Highway with another man and shortly after he left, his brother reportedly heard two gunshots.

The Richmond County Sheriff's office says it has identified two suspects in the murder. Saturday morning one of those men, Javelle Gordon, surrendered to police at the Law Enforcement Center. Investigators are still looking for a second suspect, 18-year-old Victor Scott.  They say the two men shot and killed Lee in a room at the Augusta Super Inn on Gordon Highway and then took his body in a black Mazda and dumped it near the Fifth Street bridge in North Augusta.

The murder is said to be drug related.

Investigator Richard Roundtree said, "Room 215 would be our crime scene.” Lee died from a single gunshot wound to the head Aiken County Coroner Tim Carlton said. The bullet lodged in the body and Police recovered the bullet.

Scott is considered armed and dangerous.
