Family of Clinton man killed in shooting wants answers - WHNS Greenville
Laurens County deputies say the shooting happened around 5 p. m. at the Corner Mart convenience store on Highway 76. Deputies said Marvin Watson and Zeryikia Copeland approached David Anderson, who was in a Ford F-150 at the gas pumps, and shot him. Watson and Copeland then fled the scene, deputies said. Lieutenant Judy Stiles said Monday that the motive for the crime was still unclear Monday. Watson has been charged with murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime, while Copeland is charged with accessory after the fact to felony murder, Stiles said. The Laurens County Sheriff's Office released a photo on their official Facebook page of a vehicle they said is believed to be connected to the crime. Chastain said the suspects' vehicle is possibly a 2012-2015 Nissan Sentra. Stiles said deputies found the vehicle at Joanna Community Park around 11 p. m. Sunday. Sheriff Ricky Chastain said Copeland, 20, of Tribble Street in Clinton, turned herself in to Clinton police around 5 a. m. Monday. Family members said Anderson went to take some trash to the dump and buy a bag of ice. The family said the suspects are strangers and they still do not know why they approached Anderson, began yelling at him, and then shot him. Source: www.foxcarolina.com
