The Florence County Sheriff's Office SWAT team got a tip Tuesday that Derrick Brown, wanted for Attempted Murder following a shooting on Pendo Court in April, was hiding in a home on Gilbert Drive.
Deputies say Brown shot a person in the chest while he was getting out of a car. They say he then stole the victim's car and took off.
Officers say a witness saw Brown go into the home on Gilbert Drive. SWAT deputies tried calling him over a loud speaker and getting a relative to get him to come out of the home.
Officers shot gas into the house as a last resort. When they went inside, Brown wasn't there.
Deputies will continue to search the Gilbert Drive community in effort to track down Brown. He's considered armed and dangerous.
If you've seen him, you're asked to call the Florence County Sheriff's Office at (843) 665-2121.
