CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, S.C. — Editor's note: WCNC Charlotte has chosen to use this mugshot because of the nature of the charges involved.
A man is accused of killing another man in a rural area of South Carolina.
The Chesterfield County Sheriff's Office said deputies responded to the reported shooting along Cane Mill Crossing Road near the Hunts Mill area on Thursday, August 8 around 3:40 a.m. They found 42-year-old Karl Martin Reiff Jr. dead at the scene.
While there, deputies were able to arrest the suspect, identified as 21-year-old Dameon Brown Crowley. He is now charged with murder and is being held in jail. Records show he has been denied bond.
The circumstances surrounding the shooting are still being investigated. Deputies ask anyone with additional information to give them a call at (843) 287-0235.
Note: WCNC instituted a policy in March 2021 regarding the broadcast or posting of mugshots.
WCNC will only air or post a mugshot if the person has been formally charged with a crime and in a few other cases. The exceptions include: If it appears the person could be a danger to themselves or others or if they are wanted by authorities; to differentiate between people with a common name; if the photos could encourage more victims to come forward. The news-editorial leadership may also decide to use a mugshot based on the severity of the crime(s) committed and/or the level of public interest in the crime and ensuing criminal proceedings.
