Pellets from the shotgun damaged the door frame
and windows on the passenger's side of the patrol car, but Xanthakis
and the dog were not injured.
Seventeen-year-old Carlos Alfredo Diaz De Leon and 20-year-old
Lucino Guzman Guttierrez are charged with assault and battery with
intent kill, and De Leon is also charged with unlawfully possessing a
handgun and driving without a valid driver's license.
Detectives will recommend that the 15-year-old boy be prosecuted in
family court on a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill.
Under South Carolina law, Metts cannot identify the 15-year-old boy
because he is a child.
However, Metts did say De Leon, Guttierrez and the 15-year-old boy illegally entered the United States from Mexico.
Metts says Guttierrez is a member of a criminal gang, and
detectives are investigating whether De Leon and the 15-year-old boy
also are members of the gang. The motive for the shooting incident
remains under investigation.
According to deputies, when Deputy Xanthakis arrived at the Oakwood
Drive location, he saw three men running towards him. After seeing
Xanthakis' marked patrol car, Metts says the men ran towards a
perimeter fence at a mobile home park.
One male ran around a shed in order to hide from Xanthakis, Metts
said. Xanthakis stopped his patrol car by a clothes line and saw the
male point a shotgun towards him.
Metts says Xanthakis began to back up his patrol car, Metts said,
and the man turned and ran. As Xanthakis prepared to get out of his
patrol car, a shotgun blast damaged the front passenger window of his
car. A piece of glass from the window hit Xanthakis in his face.
Deputies later identified De Leon, Guttierrez and the 15-year-old
boy as the three males whom Xanthakis encountered on Oakwood Drive,
Metts said. Deputies and members of the U.S. Marshals Service fugitive
task force took custody of De Leon, Guttierrez and the 15-year-old boy
at De Leon's home at about 10:15am. De Leon was carrying a handgun when
he was arrested, according to deputies.
After executing search warrants at the homes of De Leon and
Guttierrez, deputies recovered items that might have been stolen during
vehicle break-ins in Lexington County, Metts said. The items included
GPS devices and car stereos.
Metts says eputies also found the shotgun used to shoot at
Xanthakis under a barn on Continental Drive near the intersection with
Methodist Park Road near West Columbia.
De Leon and Guttierrez are being held at the Lexington County
Detention Center awaiting bond hearings. The 15-year-old is being
housed on Sunday at a juvenile detention facility on Broad River Road
in Columbia.
The sheriff's department will work with U.S. Immigration and
Customs Enforcement concerning the immigration status of De Leon,
Guttierrez and the 15-year-old boy.
Metts said the case remains under investigation. The sheriff said detectives might file additional charges against the three.
