An afternoon shooting exchange on the Southside and an evening shooting in West Savannah resulted in two homicides. The total number of homicides in Savannah for 2020 has jumped from zero to five within the space of a few days.
In the first incident, the Savannah Police Department responded to a shooting in the 11000 block of Abercorn Street.
“Officers responded to a 911 call of a shooting in the parking lot of the Carey Hilliard’s around 5:20 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 8. Upon arrival officers located Brian Brannen in the parking lot with serious injuries. Brannen was transported to the hospital by ambulance.

“A short time later another victim, Niquae Richardson, was located on Austin Drive in Savannah, Richardson was suffering a non-life threatening gunshot wound to the leg. Richardson was also transported to a local hospital for treatment,” police say.
