Search is on for suspects in Hastings beating

Five people face charges for their role in beating a Hastings man this weekend.

The St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office says the suspects showed up at a home on Chase Street late Sunday and attacked a 20-year-old. Witnesses reported seeing one of the suspects attempt to choke the victim and another show a gun, although no gunshots were fired. The victim suffered minor injuries.

Deputies say there’s no clear motive to the attack at this time.

Two of the suspects have been identified, and SJSO Media Relations Officer Kevin Kelshaw says they’re working through the process of pressing charges against those suspects. The identities of the other three are still unknown at this time.

Investigators are asking for any information you have. The only description available at this time is the suspects are black men and were seen leaving the scene in a silver Dodge Caliber. SJSO says the unknown suspects are believed to live in Putnam County.

If you have any information, you’re asked to call Detective Matthew Bellamy at 904-209-1635. You can also submit an anonymous tip and be eligible for a reward by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-888-277-TIPS.
