Two teens, 14 and 15, arrested in connection with a retaliatory shooting following a fatal mall attack in Augusta.

Two teens, aged 14 and 15, were arrested and charged as adults in connection with a retaliatory shooting on Druid Park Avenue in Augusta, following a fatal mall shooting that killed 17-year-old Devon McClain. Authorities found them hiding in a home where a firearm and ammunition were recovered, along with 22 shell casings. No injuries were reported from the later incident, but investigators believe multiple shooters were involved. The case has intensified concerns over youth violence in Richmond County, prompting calls for community involvement, improved safety measures, and early intervention, including addressing truancy and supporting at-risk youth. The investigation continues, with possible additional charges and a public appeal for information.
