COLUMBIA – Marcus D’Edgrick Gibbs, 26, of Winnsboro, is wanted on an Attempted Murder charge stemming from a shooting that took place on Aug. 5, 2024, on O’Neil Ct. in Columbia.

Just before midnight on Aug. 5, deputies responded to a call of shots fired at the 100 block of O’Neil Ct. On arrival, deputies were directed to an apartment where they located one victim with multiple gunshot wounds.
