Last Thursday, March 4, 2021, at 2:40 p.m., Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a report of a gunshot victim — adult male— outside a residence on Centerview Drive (Polk Village) in Beaufort. 

Upon their arrival, deputies secured the scene. The wounded man was located and transported to the Beaufort Memorial Hospital by Emergency Medical Services. At the scene, deputies learned that the subject fled prior to their arrival.
