A surveillance video of a gunfight at a Ladson Road night club in December shows a man with a gun standing in the doorway firing inside.

Charleston County deputies think they have that gunman in custody.

Keith Alextruss Williams, 22, of East Railroad Avenue in Lincolnville was arrested today at his house and charged with attempted murder, possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime and an outstanding magistrate’s bench warrant for driving without a license, according to Charleston County Sheriff’s Maj. Jim Brady.

A bond hearing is set for 9 a.m. Wednesday.

Deputies were called to The Game Room at 3792 Ladson Road shortly after 3 a.m. Dec. 20 for a disturbance that included shots fired. Gerren Nelson, 24, of West Carolina Street in Lincolnville was wounded by gunfire and several others said they were assaulted in the fight,

Police are still looking for two other men who fired shots, including the man believed to have shot Nelson, Brady said.
