Sheriff Leon Lott announces the arrest of Khila Wood (29) in connection with a shooting that occurred on Nancy Avenue.
On April 9, 2026, around 7:20 p.m., deputies were dispatched to Audrey Lane in reference to a ShotSpotter alert. While enroute, deputies were advised by dispatch that someone was struck by gunfire in the area of the ShotSpotter alert near Nancy Avenue.
Upon arrival, deputies located a witness and two pools of blood.
Upon further investigation, deputies found that the suspect, Wood, had struck the victim in the head with a handgun during a verbal argument. Wood and the victim then physically fought over the firearm and she shot the victim, while in the presence of the child they have in common.
Wood and the victim left the incident location together. Deputies were later notified that the victim had been dropped off at a local hospital for medical treatment for a gunshot wound.
Wood called RCSD Headquarters and advised deputies of her location off of Spears Creek Church Road, where she was placed under arrest. Wood was transported to the hospital for medical treatment for injuries sustained during the physical altercation with the victim.
Khila Wood is charged with Domestic Violence of a High and Aggravated Nature and Unlawful Conduct Towards a Child. Upon release from the hospital, Wood was transported to the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center, where she is awaiting a bond hearing.
