The search continues for three suspects following a deadly shooting Sunday afternoon in the 200 block of Wadley Drive in Aiken County.

The sheriff's office says deputies were sent to the home around 1:30 p.m. after getting a report of shots fired.  They found three teens in the front yard with gunshot wounds.  Two died at the scene and the third died later in the day at Augusta University Medical Center.

The victims have been identified as 17 year old Willie Garrett IV, 16 year old Ivan Perry, and 16 year old Cameron Carroll.

A witness told investigators the three victims had been involved in an argument with three black males when shots were fired.  The suspects left the scene in a black four-door Hyundai Elantra or Sonata that was last seen on Edgefield Highway.

The suspects should be considered armed and dangerous.  Call the Aiken County Sheriff's Office if you have any information that could help with the investigation.  Call (803) 648-6811.
