Deputy Walter Lamkin 

On August 24, 2014, Deputy Vernon Gandy, Deputy Walter Lamkin and other deputies from the Housing Squad responded to 1013 Carrie St due to shots fired and several persons hit.  Deputies arrived on the scene approximately 30 seconds later and observed several persons lying in the roadway and the sidewalk with gunshot wounds. Deputies also observed a PT Cruiser speeding away from the scene. A stop was conducted on the vehicle by Deputy Gandy and Deputy Lamkin. The driver was determined to be the suspect in the shootings and was taken into custody. This subject also sustained injuries in the shootings.  The efforts of these Deputies are to be commended. Their quick response to the scene led to the identification and location of the suspect vehicle. The resulting traffic stop transpired without incident. The suspect in this case was taken into custody and charged with murder and 3 counts of aggravated assault. Their actions are appreciated by this office and all of Richmond County.
