A 36-year-old man has been arrested in connection with a shooting that wounded three people in a parking lot in Pittsylvania County early on November 7. Deputies were called at 5:04 a.m. to the 800 block of North Pointe Lane at the NorthPointe Apartments, where they found two women and one man who had been shot.

Two of the victims were treated and released. The third was taken to a hospital for treatment. Investigators have not released the names of the people who were wounded.

Cordaris Kwame Townes is charged with three counts of malicious wounding and a related firearm charge. He is being held without bond in the Pittsylvania County Jail. Townes is presumed innocent unless convicted. The Pittsylvania County Sheriff's Office asks anyone who was in the area of the apartment complex parking lot that morning and saw anything to come forward.
