More arrests made after shots fired during large Crisp County gathering

As deputies attempted to break up a large gathering in Cordele, the Crisp County Sheriff's Office says someone fired a gun.

CORDELE, Ga. — A 21-year-old and a 15-year-old were arrested after a series of shootings that took place at a large Crisp County gathering on Sunday, according to the Crisp County Sheriff's Office.

They say the sheriff's office was asked to help break up a large gathering that had formed near 7th Street in Cordele on Sunday. But when deputies arrived at around 1:20 a.m., deputies said they heard the sound of gunfire. 

That night, officers arrested 36 year old Rakim Jackson, and charged him with reckless conduct after deputies saw him shooting his gun in the air, the sheriff's office said in a press release on Monday. However, deputies say they heard more gunshots as they arrested Jackson.

On Wednesday, the sheriff's office announced the arrests of 21-year-old Kanorius Woodson and a 15-year-old for being a "party" to aggravated assault. Because the second person is a minor, they are not releasing their name.

But the sheriff's office says the investigation is still going on. If you have any information, you are asked to call the Crisp County Sheriff's Office at 229-276-2690 or the Cordele Police Department at 229-276-2921. 

At the time of the shooting, deputies were called to two residences near the shooting where they found bullet holes and shell casings.
