HART COUNTY, Ga. — Three Toccoa teenagers have been arrested and charged following a reported shooting Monday evening in Northeast Georgia.

Authorities say Damien Jamier Hunter, 18, Jordan Da’shon Robinson, 15, and Konner Logan Brown, 16, were taken into custody after a traffic stop in a neighboring county. All three have been detained and are being charged as adults in Superior Court.

Deputies with the Hart County Sheriff’s Office responded around 6:14 p.m. on March 9 to a report of a shooting near the intersection of Andrew Floyd Road and Farm Road.

When deputies arrived, they found the victim walking along Tom Rice Road. The victim told investigators he had been riding in a blue Ford Mustang with three other people. The vehicle stopped on Andrew Floyd Road, and an altercation broke out.

During the dispute, two of the occupants fired weapons at the victim, according to Sheriff Chris Carroll. The victim fled the scene on foot.

Authorities issued a lookout for the Mustang. The Georgia State Patrol later spotted the vehicle on Highway 17 near Martin and conducted a traffic stop.

Troopers detained the three occupants without incident. Investigators recovered multiple firearms from the vehicle, Carroll said. The Franklin County Sheriff’s Office and the Lavonia Police Department assisted with the stop.

All three suspects were charged with armed robbery, aggravated assault, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Hunter and Robinson were also each charged with discharging a firearm near a public highway.

Sheriff Carroll said the investigation is ongoing.
