Search continues for 4 people in connection to downtown Savannah shooting

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - The search continues for four people in connection with a shooting in downtown Savannah more than a week ago.

That shooting left four men hurt on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend.

Savannah’s mayor is imploring people with information to share it.

As we go on just about a week since the Savannah Police Department first shared photos of the people they’re looking to identify, Mayor Van Johnson said the search is getting increasingly important.

Above are the four people the police department is currently looking to identify.

They haven’t explained exactly why they’re looking for the four of them, just that they are connected to the Memorial Day weekend shooting.

Mayor Johnson said they could still pose a threat to people living in Savannah.

“These individuals are dangerous to our community, if they’ve shot once, they’ll shoot again. And so, we need them off of our streets,” said Mayor Van Johnson.

This continued search follows a meeting between police department leaders and downtown businesses last Friday.

During that meeting, Chief Lenny Gunther presented a new safety plan for the area near Ellis Square as business owners raised their concerns.

Mayor Johnson attended that meeting and when we asked him about it, he told us he thinks it was productive, but he still thinks the city may need to do more.

“We might have to take additional actions to make sure people are safe. As I’ve said before, all things are on the table. For what it was worth, the conversations proved fruitful. Some of the business owners I’ve spoken to, were satisfied with at least the concern that we showed and our responsiveness to it,” said Mayor Van Johnson.
