According to Moon, the investigation suggests the man met another individual in the "41" section of the county, between Bonneau and St. Stephen for an alleged drug transaction.

"The two men got into an altercation," Moon said in a statement. "The victim got in his car and fled toward Moncks Corner."

The suspected shooter chased after the victim in a second car, allegedly shooting into the victim's car when he got close enough. The bullet struck the victim, according to Moon.

A friend of the victim drove the car to where it was located on Belt Drive just off of North Live Oak Drive.

Investigators have suspects, but no arrests have been made, said Moon.

Anyone with information concerning this crime is asked to call the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office at 843-723-3800 or Crimestoppers at 843-554-1111.
