JACKSONVILLE – Warrants have been issued for two men suspected to be involved in a Cherokee County shooting over the weekend. According to KETK, officials with the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Department confirm there is a Crimestoppers reward for information leading to the arrests of Hugo Rincon, 19 and his brother, Ruben Rincon, 22. Both men are wanted for aggravated robbery.
Over the weekend, a 73-year-old man reportedly witnessed the men burglarizing his tool shed. The man says his truck blocked the men from leaving his driveway. According to the victim, that’s when one them walked up to his truck window and shot him twice. The man says he was then pulled from his truck and put on the ground before they moved his vehicle and drove away. The man is now recovering and has been released from the hospital. Sheriff’s officials say both brothers are considered armed and dangerous. If you have any information about their whereabouts, you’re asked to call Cherokee County Crimestoppers.
