RUSSELLVILLE, S.C. (AP) - A South Carolina man has been shot and killed at a rural country store and sheriff's deputies have arrested a suspect.
The Post and Courier of Charleston reported that 46-year-old Anthony Alphonso Middleton of St. Stephen was killed Thursday afternoon at the store in Russellville near Lake Moultrie.
Berkeley County Sheriff Rick Ollic reported 29-year-old Elijah Mahammid Brown of Cross was arrested late Thursday and charged with murder. Deputies had spent the day searching for Brown with tracking dogs and a helicopter.
Chief Deputy Coroner Bill Salisbury says Middleton died from a gunshot wound to the head.
Ollic says the shooting is thought to have followed a dispute between Middleton and another man.
It was unclear Friday if Brown had an attorney.
