Two persons sought on attempted murder charges

Two young people have been charged with attempted murder and other offenses in the Oconee Sheriff’s Office investigation of the gun shot wounding of a man last week at a home near Westminster, in the Holly Springs Community.  The sheriff’s office announced yesterday that Gavin Lamar Tukes, 18, of N. Spring Street, Westminster and Sayphonh Miranda Aquilla Xayachack, 25, of the Greenfield Road are being sought and were last seen in a silver 2008 Ford Fusion with South Carolina tag U-J-G-7-6-4.  Tukes and Xayachack are the sheriff’s office suspects in the incident that wounded and hospitalized a man at his Ora Road home.  There’s the potential of a cash reward for whoever supplies law enforcement with information that leads to an arrest.
