CHARLESTON, SC – Two home invasion suspects reportedly had the tables turned on them by their would-be victims in South Carolina earlier in October. Authorities say the two suspects wound up being disarmed by the occupants of the apartment they allegedly broke into, leaving one suspect shot and the other with a stab wound to the neck.
Charleston Police stated the incident occurred around noon at an apartment complex located along South Enston Avenue in Downtown Charleston on October 26th. Two suspects, identified as 26-year-old Keon Haynes and 21-year-old Christopher Connor, allegedly forced their way into an apartment in an apparent robbery attempt but were reportedly thwarted by the occupants inside.
One of the occupants was reportedly grazed by a bullet during a struggle for the weapon carried by one of the suspects during the incident, but the two suspects reportedly suffered the brunt of the injuries during the botched home invasion. Authorities say one suspect suffered a gunshot wound to the arm, whereas the other had an apparent stab wound to the neck.
According to police, the suspects and the victims were familiar with each other. Police apprehended one of the injured suspects at the scene of the incident, with the second suspect being apprehended by authorities at a residence located along Doscher Avenue where he was found suffering from the neck wound reportedly sustained during the incident.
Connor and Haynes were transported to an area hospital for treatment before being released and booked into the Al Cannon Detention Center in Charleston County. Officials noted that Haynes was under the supervision of the South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services at the time of the incident. Charleston County records show Haynes has six prior arrests out of the county dating back to 2017 for offenses ranging from assault to strong armed robbery.
Both Haynes and Connor were charged with assault and battery in the first degree, armed robbery, and burglary in the first degree, with Connor additionally being charged with possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent offense.
