According to Lt. Scott Peebles, three people have been arrested in connection with the murder of Miguel Hernandez, which occurred on July 3rd, on Fox Trace Drive, in Augusta.

Just before midnight, last Friday, investigators say 30-year-old Miguel Hernandez interrupted an armed robbery attempt in the Fox Den apartment complex, and was killed. Wednesday evening, investigators continued their search for the murder suspect. WJBF News Channel 6’s Barclay Bishop was there with investigators, and has the details.

The Richmond County Sheriff’s Office says deputies responded shortly before midnight, Friday night, to 124 Fox Trace Drive (Fox Trace Apartments) in reference to a shooting that had just occurred. Upon officers’ arrival, they located the victim, a Hispanic male, inside the residence with an apparent gunshot wound to the chest. The victim was pronounced deceased by Richmond County Chief Deputy Coroner Mark Bowen, a few minutes after midnight, on Saturday July 4th.
