On a Thursday afternoon, 20-year-old Erick Ortega-Alvarez of Goose Creek was found with a fatal gunshot wound at the Forest Park Playground in West Ashley. Police were called at about 1:15 p.m.; the Charleston County Coroner’s Office later confirmed his identity and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Another adult male at the playground suffered a non-life-threatening gunshot wound and was treated by EMS there.

Charleston police described the shooting as an isolated incident and said there was no ongoing threat. Two teenagers, 16 and 17, were arrested and are being held at the Charleston County Juvenile Detention Center; they face charges including murder, attempted murder, armed robbery, and possession of a firearm during the commission of a violent crime.

Did anyone in the Charleston area witness the incident or have information about what led to the shooting?
