ROCK HILL, S.C. — Four teenagers are facing charges in connection with the deadly shooting of a man in Rock Hill early Monday, the Rock Hill Police Department said.
Rock Hill police were called to a reported shooting at an apartment complex on Paces River Avenue around midnight Sunday night. When officers got to the area, they found the 38-year-old victim dead from multiple gunshot wounds.
Investigators said the suspects, three 14-year-olds and a 15-year-old, were in the apartment with the victim at the time of the shooting. Detectives allege the suspects were angry about a discipline that happened earlier in the day on Sunday. The group is accused of conspiring and carrying out a plan that resulted in the man's killing.
All four suspects were taken into custody and are being detained at the Rock Hill Law Center. They were each charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Due to their ages, the suspects have not been identified. Detectives have not revealed the suspects' relationship to the victim.
The gun, which was obtained illegally, was located by a K-9 officer with the York County Sheriff's Office in the woods near the apartment building.
If anyone has any information regarding this incident, they are asked to call 803-329- 7293.
