Seabrook – A targeted shooting incident occurred early Monday morning on August 11, 2025, at a residence on Fawnwood Lane in Seabrook, Beaufort County. No injuries were reported, despite the home being occupied by 11 individuals at the time of the shooting, including eight juveniles aged between 6 months and 16 years old.
The Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO) received multiple calls shortly after midnight regarding gunfire in the area. Upon arrival, deputies discovered that the residence had been struck multiple times by bullets. Fortunately, the occupants inside were unharmed, and investigators have begun their work to determine the details surrounding the incident.
As of the latest updates, the shooter remains unidentified, and authorities are treating the case as a targeted shooting. Investigators have not yet confirmed whether the incident may have involved a drive-by shooting. The circumstances of this event are still unfolding, and further inquiries are actively ongoing.
In light of the recent violence in the area, authorities are urging anyone with information to come forward. The public can reach Investigator Staff Sergeant Tunis at 843-255-3426 or submit tips anonymously through the Crime Stoppers of Beaufort County. Anonymous tips can be submitted via the P3 Tips mobile app, online at tipsbft.com, or by calling 844-TIPS-BFT (844-847-7238).
This incident follows a troubling trend of violence in the area, as a nearby homicide occurred in June, claiming the life of an 18-year-old during a gathering at a community center on Seabrook Center Road. The homicide investigation has yet to yield any arrests, but authorities have stated it is not believed to be connected to the recent shooting on Fawnwood Lane.
Local law enforcement continues to enhance their patrols and investigation efforts as they seek to provide a safe environment for the community members of Seabrook, particularly given the presence of children during the most recent incident.
As the investigation progresses, more information may be released to the public regarding the circumstances of the shooting and the status of the ongoing inquiries. Until then, residents are encouraged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the BCSO.
