Robert Stachura was charged with two counts of attempted murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime and discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle, the sheriff’s office said Monday in a news release.

The charges stem from a May 14 shooting, according to the release.

That night, deputies responded to a report of a shooting on Amelia Drive, the sheriff’s office said. That’s in the Cherryvale area of Sumter County.

Deputies found one victim, who was taken by EMS to Prisma Health Tuomey hospital, according to the release. Further information on the victim’s condition was not available.
