The fatal shooting that took place on Sunday night is under investigation by the County Coroner’s Office in Pickens. At approximately 9:45 PM, the shooting took place on Crowe Creek Road, near Six Mile, resulting in the death of an identified man.
Officials concurred that the deceased was Steven Basquette, a 49-year-old resident of Pickens. Interestingly, both the County Coroner’s Office and deputies of Pickens County are conducting thorough investigations on the incident, seeking any significant correlations that may assist in piecing together the circumstances leading up to the shooting.
Although investigations are still in process, early information gathered from the incident scene portrays an entangled relationship between the victim and the homeowner. As revealed, the two shared a child, adding a potential motive for the incident.
Deputies further disclosed previous legal troubles involving Basquette and the mentioned woman homeowner. As evidenced in the arrest records, Basquette faced charges of high and aggravated domestic violence as well as assault and battery against the woman’s male companion. These unfortunate events date back to July 15, where Basquette was later released on a $60,000 surety bond within two days of his arrest.
Notwithstanding the prevalent skepticism, no arrests have been elicited in the aftermath of the tragic incident. Deputies and detectives have devoted their time, tirelessly working into late hours of the night to conduct a scrupulous investigation on the matter.
In a bid to unravel more details pertaining to the case, the Pickens County Coroner’s Office has requested an autopsy on the deceased victim. This move will not only assist in consolidating the primary findings but also draw in significant forensic evidence that may prove instrumental in the prosecution process when it kicks off.
Information regarding the incident progress, autopsy findings, and any breakthroughs in the case will be intermittently released by both the coroner’s office and the sheriff’s office. Given the magnitude of the situation, news outlets are closely monitoring and will promptly disclose any relevant updates. Residents, legal stakeholders, and the general public are urged to remain patient as professionals work relentlessly to unveil more details about the delicate matter at hand.
The unfortunate incident has sent shockwaves across Pickens County, raising questions about the state of law and order in the area. The elusive nature of the case highlights the critical necessity of comprehensive forensic investigations in safeguarding justice. Equally, the incident serves as a bleak reminder of the rippling effects of domestic violence, challenging the authorities’ competence in mitigating and handling such cases.
