i figure mr. parrish was working for a.c.o.r.n., and was attempting to bribe mr. harvey with the marijuana.
Bullet casings and marijuana buds littered the parking lot of a south Augusta restaurant where Richmond County investigators said they believe one man was shot overnight in a drug deal gone wrong.
Sheriff's Investigator Kendall Brown said this morning that investigators are looking for the owners of two cars found near the IHOP restaurant on Peach Orchard Road.
Marquese Demario Parrish, 17, of the 500 block of Aiken Street, and Henry Harvey Jr., 30, of 3200 block of Deans Bridge Road, are wanted for questioning in connection with the incident and could face firearms and drug charges.
Investigator Brown said witnesses said men parked next to each during what appeared to be a drug deal in the parking lot. For some reason, one of the men fired at the other - striking the car.
Blood was found in a Chevrolet Impala, registered to Mr. Harvey, and the Ford Taurus believed to have been driven by Mr. Parrish was abandoned about 50 feet away. Investigator Brown said that police believe someone suffered a gunshot wound in the exchange and that they are searching the area for him.
About a pound of marijuana was recovered from the scene. Anyone with information about the suspects can call the sheriff's office at (706) 821-1080.

Sounds about right, smartie. Something like that.
Marquese...Marquese...Marquese....... What will you do next? Mmm mmm mmm
... Or with commissioner Grantham...
What's up with all the criminals at the IHOP in south Augusta?
I-hop, U-hop, we all hop when the lead starts flying.
Wonder if I can get a job sweeping up the parking lot for IHOP? The pay may suck, but the perq's sound pretty high.
Perq's? Don't you mean perks are many or perps as in perpetrators are high? LOL I'm glad some people I know moved away from Lovett Road. They could have been hit by stray bullets.
Lesson learned - are these drugs worth dying over?
I meant perqs... like Percosets.
Let us all pray that one is dead and the other is put away for life. I hope so before a child is killed by these boom box thugs.
"About a pound of marijuana was recovered from the scene" - Dang, how many pancakes could you eat after that?
Smartie that was a stupid remark. It shows your intellegence or lack of.
smartie: You have that backward, your mother works for mr parrish!!!LOL!!
Maybe the gunshot will get infected and the person will go away. We do not need those king of people on our streets.
CEITPro. Thanks for clarifying.
This was way too close to residences. A friend of mine used to live right across from that parking lot.
This is like nothing new for people to do this it happenes like everyday.....Gawd....
