The search for a man involved in a Thursday afternoon shooting was wrapped up quickly, Anderson County Sheriff Chad McBride said, because of the man's choice of getaway car — a bright yellow cab.

McBride said the man took a taxi to a home on Morningside Drive in Anderson around 2:30 p.m.

"I think there was some kind of beef between the suspect and the guy at the residence," McBride said. "I don't know if it was over property or what, but it ended with the guy at the home getting shot in the arm.

"Then the guy who had come to his house got back into the cab with the driver and left. Our deputies stopped the cab about a mile down the road from the shooting and took the guy in for questioning."

No charges had been filed as of 5 p.m. Thursday, and the identities of the shooter and the person who was wounded had not yet been made public. The person who was shot does not have life-threatening injuries, McBride said.

McBride said investigators from the Anderson County Sheriff's Office are still trying to determine whether the taxi driver knew anything about the shooting.

"The whole thing seems bizarre," he said. "One thing we know for sure, though — it's hard to escape if you're riding in a yellow taxi cab."
