Richmond County Sheriff's Office

A woman is being sought after shots were fired into two apartments in Richmond County late last month.

Investigators say multiple shell casings were found one apartment in the 7300 block of Palomino Court, and at least one in the other.

An incident report identified three males who were in one apartment at the time when shots were fired March 26th.  Another victim told authorities she was in her apartment nearby with her two year old son when a bullet entered her unit.  No one was injured in either instance.

Authorities say they're looking for 24-year-old Reniya Jessica Battles in connection with the incidents.  She's black, 5'9" and weighs 250 pounds.  Battles will be charged with Aggravated Assault when she's taken into custody.

Anyone with information on Battles whereabouts is asked to contact Investigator Foozan Monga or any on call investigator at the Richmond County Sheriff's Office at 706-821-1034 or 706-821-1020.
