Alonza Marable Jr. was found guilty of murder and assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature last week following a jury trial.

The charges stem from an April 18, 2020 shooting at the Ferndale Mobile Home Park.

According to the Solicitor's Office, Marable and his then-15-year-old accomplice drove around the park waiting for their victim to return home.

The two shot and killed 16-year-old Lanelle Reed Jr. outside of his home.

The juvenile, armed with a handgun, was likely the one that fired the shot that killed Reed. Marable was armed with a semi-automatic rifle and fired 12 rounds, one of which struck a bystander sleeping in a nearby home.

The bystander survived.

Assistant Solicitor Daniel Cooper, who was on the team that prosecuted the case, said that "Marable was the architect of this entire incident: he drove the car as they stalked and hunted the victim; he provided the weapons and ammunition used in the shooting, and, as he was three years older than his juvenile co-defendant, Marable clearly influenced the younger codefendant."

Marable was sentenced to 30 years in prison, the minimum sentence for murder.

According to DCSO, one person was injured.

The extent of the victim's injuries is unknown.

DCSO said that no one is in custody as of 4:45 p.m.

According to Charleston Police, Lucius Gibbs was last seen in Charleston on June 6. His family reported him missing one day later. CPD said that he was driving a white Ford F-150.

On June 9, the sheriff's office in Lee County, Alabama responded to reports of a drunk driver on Highway 280. A witness said someone in a white Ford F-150 "was swerving across lanes and had run off the road into a ditch."

Responding deputies approached the truck and found Gibbs asleep at the wheel. They also saw a rifle in the passenger's seat.

The deputies called for backup and a few minutes later, saw the truck backing out of the ditch. The Lee County Sheriff's Office said that while backing out, Gibbs fired a shot at the deputies.

The deputies returned fire and approached the truck.

When deputies found Gibbs, they said he had a handgun in one hand and a semi-automatic shotgun with an extended magazine in the seat beside him.

Gibbs appeared to be hit, so EMS was requested. EMS confirmed that Gibbs died on scene.

The Alabama State Bureau of Investigation is investigating, per protocol.

According to the report, the victim parked her car outside the ER and left her son in the car as she took someone inside.

When she walked out, told police she saw a man removing her son from the back seat and a woman sitting in the driver's seat. The woman then sped away in the car.

The suspects were identified as Tanner Chechelashvili (35) and Travis Gillespie (40). Both were charged with kidnapping, assault and battery first degree, and carjacking.

Both are being held in the Al Cannon Detention Center. Bond has not been set.

The incident happened at 1940 Old Trolley Road. Witnesses saw the suspect, described as a Black man wearing black clothing and a ski mask, running down the road after the robbery.

Officers searched the surrounding areas, but the suspect was never located.

The U.S. Postal Inspection Service has been working with the Summerville Police Department to identify and capture the suspect.

A reward of up to $50,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the suspect.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the U.S. Postal Inspection Service at 1-877-876-2455.

According to the report, the incident happened sometime between Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.

The report states that the suspect(s) "drove an unknown vehicle onto the golf course," near the 14th hole, "where it was plainly visible that a vehicle had done donuts in the grass."

The vehicle appeared to have off-road tires with a "knobby tread pattern," according to MPPD.

At some point, officers believe the vehicle got stuck trying to exit the sand bunker, as "large divots consistent with a vehicle spinning its wheels at a high rate of speed" were visible. There were multiple divots ranging from around six to 18-inches deep.

A cart path sign was also knocked off its post.

The course is closed for unrelated maintenance this week, and staff have already begun repairs. Some repairs could take as long as four weeks.

There are no surveillance cameras on the course.

According to the solicitor's office, Algernard Young was found guilty of following his ex-wife to her home in 2019 then shooting her new boyfriend five times the next day.

Gunshot residue and phone records also helped identify Young as the suspect.

Young was sentenced to 40 years in prison.

According to CPD, the individual may be connected to a burglary at 289 East Bay Street and a vehicle break-in near 420 King Street on Monday, June 12.

The individual has tattoos on the left forearm and right calve, police said.

According to the Charleston County Sheriff's Office (CCSO), Nyasia Jones (18) of Wadmalaw Island turned herself in at the Al Cannon Detention Center. She was charged with murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.

The charges stem from a May 3 shooting that left De'Andre Tommie (18) dead. He was found dead inside his vehicle near Roseville Road.

CCSO said that five people, including Jones, were present during the murder. One witness gave CCSO "direct evidence" that showed Jones was "acting in concert with [the first suspect] Davaun Hamilton to shoot and kill Tommie."

Investigators also found text messages showing that "Jones lured the victim outside" before he was "ambushed and shot several times."

A second suspect, Jahsir Gadsden, was charged in late May.

According to GCSO, the incident happened at Hotshot Liquor on Mink Avenue shortly after 5:30 p.m.

The clerk told deputies that one man approached the counter to distract him while another man stole three bottles of liquor. The clerk also said he saw a black pistol in one of the men’s waistbands.

The men fled in a Chevy Impala.

Deputies canvassed the area and arrested Tavion Ruff (19) and Dandre Boyd (21) on charges of armed robbery.

But it's not the first time a deadly shooting happened at this location. News 2 spoke with the owner of A-1 Food Store after Thursday night’s shooting, but while he did not want to talk on camera, he said they’ve had six or seven shootings at the location in the past.

Community leaders now want something to be done to stop crime from happening in the area. In fact, the leader of a local civil rights group wants A-1 Food Store to be shut down altogether.

“This store has become a nuisance in our community. I’m working with our legal team to bring together the nuisance law to close the store,” said Elder James Johnson, CEO of the Racial Justice Network. “For the last 20 years, they’ve had the activities of people coming in this store, being shot or killed in the store.”

Johnson said violence at the store has directly impacted his organization’s former chapter president in the past.

“Her son came to the store to buy some soft drinks. He walked out of the store. He was mistaken for somebody else- someone shot and killed him at the front door of the store,” he said.

Johnson said they met with their lawyers at 1:00 p.m. to see if there was a way to shut the business down.

“The nuisance law is when so many people or activities have happened at this particular store, that we are asking that the beer and wine license and their license be revoked because of the number of crimes,” said Johnson.

News 2 obtained a report from the North Charleston Police Department which shows the number of calls for service at that specific location between March 8, 2021, and June 8, 2023.

While there were hundreds of calls for service, only approximately 19 appeared to be significant in nature including carjackings, assaults, burglaries, and thefts. There were eight calls listed as either weapons, firearms, or shooting incidents.

No arrests have been made in Thursday night's shooting as of Friday afternoon. Anyone with information is asked to contact the North Charleston Police Department.

The protests that evolved into violence May 30 and 31 were among many that broke out across the nation after the death of George Floyd, a Black man killed by a white police officer in Minnesota.

Shabazz Akeem Isiah Watson was one of many arrested for damaging property to Downtown businesses during the chaos on May 30.

According to the Department of Justice (DOJ), Watson entered a wine bar on King Street around 10:30 p.m. and "took several paper menus from the counter, set them on fire with a lighter, and placed them under a wooden barstool." He did this several times so that the fire grew, the DOJ said.

Other people were inside the wine bar, but Watson was the only one who set the fires.

Around 11:09 p.m., Watson entered a King Street clothing store and set merchandise and clothing on fire. Another person was able to put that fire out before it got out of control.

Around 11:55 p.m., entered a paint store on Meeting Street and set a cardboard display on fire.

About an hour later, Watson entered a retail store on meeting street and lit several items on fire throughout the store.

"The fires grew rapidly and eventually burned the entire building and everything inside, resulting in the business remaining closed for several months during repairs," according to the DOJ.

Watson caused a total of $2,415,510 in damages across the four businesses.

Watson pleaded guilty to arson and was sentenced to five years in prison plus three years of court-ordered supervision. He was also ordered to pay full restitution.

Thomas C. Gotshall was arrested on June 2 and charged with one count of second-degree sexual exploitation of a minor following an investigation by the S.C. Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

Authorities said the investigation was opened after detectives received a tip regarding possible child sexual abuse material found on a cellphone cloud account belonging to Gotshall.

The content depicted children between the ages of 3 and 10 "appearing in a state of sexually explicit nudity" and engaging in sexual activity, according to an arrest affidavit.

Gotshall was booked into the Al Cannon Detention Center and released on $40,000 bail on June 3.

Murdaugh initially told his insurance companies that Satterfield tripped over his dogs and fell down the front porch stairs. He secured over $4.3 million in wrongful death settlement funds, but funneled it all to a personal account. He later recanted on the dogs being the cause for the fall.

In his motion to vacate the confession, Murdaugh admitted that he lied to his insurance companies to secure a higher payout, but contends that he was not truly liable in Satterfield’s death, claiming she fell due to medical conditions and side effects of medications she was taking at the time.

Murdaugh argued that his original confession should be void because it wrongfully blamed the fall on the dogs.

The response by Satterfield's lawyers compares Murdaugh's motion to "a spoiled child... overindulged and undisciplined."

It goes on to say that his actions have "wasted this Court's time and have unnecessarily caused the further victimization of the Satterfield family."

The motion also includes several documents from around the time of Satterfield's death, including approvals of the insurance payouts. Those documents do not mention the dogs as the cause for death, so Satterfield's lawyers argue that even if Murdaugh lied about the dogs being the cause, the payouts should not be void.

Ultimately, the motion accuses Murdaugh of trying to game the judicial system to avoid paying back money he stole:

"When it served Murdaugh to parade the Confession before Courts as a sign of his magnanimousness and contrition, he did so.10 When Nautilus said in effect, 'thanks for admitting you stole the money we paid to you beneficially for the Satterfields, we would like it back now,' he reversed course and now seeks to disavow the same Confession. The goal of judicial estoppel 'is to prevent a party from playing 'fast and loose' with the courts, and to protect the essential integrity of the process.' Who has played faster or looser with the Courts than Murdaugh?"

The motion argues that the Satterfields are entitled "to sanctions against both Murdaugh and his legal counsel in order to punish their conduct and deter such similar abuses of the Plaintiffs and the legal system going forward."

Albert Scott III was sentenced to 24 years in prison without parole following a guilty plea to attempted murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.

He was sentenced by the Honorable Judge Heath Taylor.

On February 13, 2020, Deputy Robert Haslip attempted to make a traffic stop in the area of Ladson Road and Highway 78 when Scott failed to stop and led the deputy on a high-speed chase.

The deputy responded following a reported domestic dispute involving Scott and his girlfriend.

Scott, armed with an assault rifle, ran into a wooded area in Dorchester County after stopping his vehicle near Salters Lane. The deputy lost sight of Scott for a short time but then spotted him on the ground with his rifle raised.

"Scott then fired one shot, barely missing the deputy. Deputy Haslip told Judge Taylor during sentencing, 'I felt like I could feel the bullet pass by my head,'” the solicitor stated.

Deputy Haslip returned fire, striking Scott three times and causing him to fall to the ground.

Scott then fired another round before surrendering as additional law enforcement arrived at the scene to assist and take him into custody.

Scott was previously convicted of pointing and presenting, and accessory after the fact to armed robbery.

Kelvin Wayne Simmons, age 53, of Concord, was arrested on charges of robbing banks in Henderson, Gaston, Mecklenburg, Rowan and Cabarrus counties.

According to the Black Mountain Police Department, officers were notified Simmons was in Black Mountain after a license plate reader flagged his car. Around the same time his car was flagged, the Buncombe County Public Safety Communications dispatched a shots fired call on State Street in Black Mountain.

Police believe Simmons had been calling dispatch centers in other counties reporting shots fired prior to initiating bank robberies.

"Black Mountain Police Department feels confident Simmons was preparing to rob a bank in Black Mountain, as he was spotted within moments of the erroneous shots fired call and the License Plate Reader alert," the department said.

When officers attempted to stop the car, Simmons reportedly released two passengers who were cooperative with police.

Simmons reportedly then led officers on a chase down Interstate 40 at speeds of over 115 miles-per-hour. During the chase, police say Simmons entered Interstate 26 travelling the wrong way and hit several vehicles before crashing.

Simmons reportedly exited the wrecked vehicle and attempted to carjack a vehicle that had stopped on the highway. Bystanders wrestled Simmons to the ground and held him until Black Mountain Police arrived and took him into custody.

Simmons has outstanding arrest warrants in Henderson, Mecklenburg, Gaston, Rowan, and Cabarrus Counties. The warrants included multiple charges including robbery with a dangerous weapon, attempted robbery with a dangerous weapon, flee to elude arrest, second degree kidnapping, and attempted common law robbery.

The most recent of those charges came on Wednesday, after Simmons allegedly entered a Hendersonville bank with a "Despicable Me Minions" lunchbox and told tellers he had a gun. He ran away with an undisclosed amount of money.

MONCKS CORNER, S.C. (WCBD) - The Moncks Corner Police Department says a man is in custody after a woman was found suffering from a gunshot wound Saturday afternoon in Moncks Corner.

According to Moncks Corner Police Department, officers were dispatched to Birchwood Drive about a possible homicide at 4:15 p.m. Saturday.

When officers arrived, they located a female suffering from apparent gunshot wounds. The Berkeley County Coroner declared the victim deceased at the scene.

An investigation by Moncks Corner detectives identified 35-year-old Trivelle Fowler as the suspect.

Fowler was arrested on Saturday and is being held at the Hill-Finklea Detention Center.

The investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch at (843) 719-4169 and ask to speak with the on-duty detective.

Two officers with the Charleston Police Department (CPD) were patrolling on the east side when they observed a man known to them as a drug dealer. According to a report, the man spotted the officers and “reached deep into his rectal area underneath his underwear.”

Officers said they knew from prior training and experience that this was an action consistent with someone attempting to conceal dangerous narcotics.

After approaching the subject, officers said they could smell the clear and distinct odor of marijuana coming from him. He allegedly admitted to having a “little bit of weed.”

Police recovered a plastic bag with a green leafy substance from his left pocket which they identified as marijuana.

Because of the circumstances and a prior arrest for simple possession, the suspect - 26-year-old Kendell Scott - was arrested for a second simple possession offense.

While being taken to the Al Cannon Detention Center, Scott allegedly made several derogatory and threatening statements to one of the officers and said that he already had two charges for assaulting police.

The report said Scott emphasized that the next time he saw them, he would “clap” the officers. He received an additional charge of threatening a public official.

While at the jail, police say Scott was irate and caused a disturbance. The man was thoroughly searched at the detention center, but police did not say what was found.

Officers with the Charleston Police Department responded to the Oasis Apartments after they received multiple calls for shots heard in the area.

The offender, later identified as Denise Woods-Kennedy, 52, and the victim was found near woods close to the apartment’s leasing office.

Woods-Kennedy was arrested and charged with attempted murder and possession of a weapon during a violent crime, according to jail records.

She was taken to the Al Cannon Detention Center.

Detectives with the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office (CCSO) said a woman was shot multiple times outside a home. Bullets also struck a home where others were residing.

The suspect in that shooting was identified as 24-year-old Jorge Morales Velasquez, the victim’s former boyfriend.

“Chesterfield County police initially worked to locate Velasquez in Virginia. Those efforts by law enforcement continued throughout the week, and the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force, in coordination with CCSO, found and arrested Velasquez on Thursday in Escambia County, Alabama,” said Andrew Knapp, a spokesman for the Charleston County Sheriff’s Office.

Velasquez was booked at the Escambia County Jail and is expected to be extradited to Charleston County where he will face a slew of charges including attempted murder, domestic violence of a high and aggravated nature, discharging a firearm into a dwelling, and possession of a firearm in a violent crime.

According to CPD, officers were on scene at a home on Blake Street between American and Aiken streets as of 10:30 p.m.

CPD said that the subject ran into a residence, but it is unclear whether the subject lives at that home.

CPD said that there is no threat to the public, but some traffic has been restricted.

The suspect was taken into custody around midnight, according to CPD.

The charges stem from Fleming's involvement in a scheme to defraud the estate of Murdaugh's former housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield, out of over $4,000,000 in a wrongful death settlement.

“In February 2018, Murdaugh’s housekeeper passed away after a fall at Murdaugh’s home. Murdaugh recommended that the housekeeper’s estate hire Fleming—then a personal injury and criminal defense attorney in Beaufort—to represent them and file a claim against Murdaugh to collect from his homeowner’s insurance policies. Murdaugh’s insurance companies settled the estate’s claim for $505,000 and $3,800,000,” the U.S. Attorney’s office said.

Fleming and Murdaugh are accused of misappropriating the funds, which they diverted for personal use.

He faces a maximum penalty of up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

Judge Richard Gergel told Fleming that the plea will not supersede the state case against him and that the sentences could run concurrent.

A sentencing hearing is expected at a later date.

According to SPD, officers responded to the complex at 600 Martins Creek Boulevard around 6:30 a.m. after a shooting was reported.

Responding officers found the victim walking in front of the apartment complex. The report states that the victim appeared to be out of breath and told officers that he was walking his dog when the suspect emerged from behind a nearby building and began shooting at him.

The victim said that he ran and took cover behind cars and the suspect chased after him.

Officers found four shell casings from two separate weapons and 14 rounds on the ground outside the apartment complex. They also noted four cars were damaged by gunfire and one building was struck by gunfire. No injuries were reported.

The victim said that the suspect was a neighbor and that the altercation stemmed from the suspect "disrespecting his family."

No arrests have been made as of Thursday afternoon, but SPD said that there is no threat to the public.

Ty'Qwane Dix pled guilty to using an interstate commerce facility to coerce a minor to engage in sexual activity, according to the United States Attorney's Office for the District of South Carolina.

Between August 2020 and January 2021, Dix presented himself as a 19-year-old online and lured a 12-year-old Virginia girl to send him explicit videos and photos of herself through Snapchat.

If the minor did not comply with Dix's requests, he threatened to send the videos and photos to other individuals.

Dix was sentenced to 151 months in prison after an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. His prison sentence will be followed by a lifetime of court-ordered supervision.

Police responded to a burglar alarm at the business shortly after 11:30 p.m. and found the suspect, 42-year-old Travis Lamon Bailey, hiding behind a nearby fast-food restaurant.

Bailey is charged with second-degree burglary for allegedly stealing two cases of beer.

A spokesman for the police department said Bailey had multiple prior burglary convictions.

Bailey was taken to the Charleston County Detention Center.

Berkeley County Sheriff Duane Lewis said they received a call from a resident on Wednesday afternoon after spotting Burham on their property off United Drive. Burham ran from behind a shed which ultimately led to his capture shortly after 5:15 p.m.

"Teams were very close. We were concentrating on the area. SLED, the FBI, Charleston County, bloodhounds -- they all moved in and he was taken into custody," said Sheriff Lewis.

Burham was not in great shape upon his capture after moving through sections of the Francis Marion National Forest for days. "You could tell he had been in the elements for some time," Sheriff Lewis added.

Neighbors who were watching the law enforcement activity in a rural area of the county cheered after BCSO spokeswoman Carli Drayton announced Burham was captured.

Burham was taken to the Berkeley County Sheriff's Office where he will be booked and processed. He will be extradited to New York to face his charges.

Burham, who was wanted in connection to a sexual assault and homicide out of Jamestown, New York, made his way to the Lowcountry Sunday after allegedly kidnapping an elderly couple from Pennsylvania.

The couple said that he drove them to North Charleston and then let them go.

A federal arrest warrant was issued by the U.S. District Court of the Western District of New York Monday for the unlawful flight to avoid prosecution, according to the FBI.

Hundreds of law enforcement agents, including the FBI and State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) agents, assisted in the search. A $10,000 reward for his capture was offered by the FBI.

A large area of the Francis Marion National Forest in Huger was saturated Tuesday after officials encountered Burham, but he escaped.

Overnight Tuesday, a sighting was reported near Awendaw in Charleston County, so resources were shifted to that area.

On Wednesday afternoon, Berkeley County officials got a tip that a man matching Burham's description was spotted behind a home on United Drive, in the same area where officials had been searching Tuesday.

Law enforcement officials quickly moved search efforts back to Berkeley County, where Burham was taken into custody.

According to CCSO, deputies found the victim shot to death in a car around 6:30 a.m. May 3.

The investigation revealed that five people were there when the victim was shot, including the first suspect Devaun Hamilton, and second suspect Jahsir Gadsden.

Gadsden is also accused of trying to destroy evidence on his phone.

Gadsden is facing one charge of murder and being held at the Sheriff Al Cannon Detention Center.

Jamie Bradley Brun, 37, was charged with murder and attempted murder after the attack early Friday in their home on St. Helena Island, Beaufort County Sheriff P.J. Tanner said at a news conference.

Brun has talked to investigators and Tanner called it a horrific crime but told reporters he wouldn't say why Brun wanted to kill her children.

“I’m not a mental health expert. It’s not my job to determine if someone has a mental health problem," the sheriff said.

Brun's 16-year-old daughter was asleep around 1:30 a.m. Friday when her 8-year-old sister's screams woke her up. The sheriff wouldn’t detail how the mother was trying to drown her child, but said the girl's cries were coming from the bathroom.

The teen went into the bathroom and managed to wrestle her sister away from her mother and run to a nearby family member's house to call 911, Tanner said.

“I’m very proud of her. I think she did an unbelievable job. She defended her family when no one else was available,” Tanner said. "Her courage is amazing.”

Deputies arrived eight minutes later and found Brun and her 6-year-old daughter, who was later pronounced dead at the hospital after CPR by officers and paramedics could not revive her, investigators said.

Brun tried to grab a deputy's gun as she was arrested and officers shocked her with a Taser to take her into custody, Tanner said.

Brun was being held without bond. Jail and court records didn't indicate if she had a lawyer.

The 8-year-old did not appear to be seriously injured, and the sheriff said she and her teen sister are being cared for by other family members.

Brun had no arrest record in South Carolina and authorities had been called to the house only once about two years ago after a school employee was concerned about the mental health of one of the children, Tanner said.

"There is a lot more information that we have and a lot more details that we know but at this point we can’t share," Tanner said.
