ORANGEBURG, SC (AP) – A 16-year-old boy is the second person arrested in connection with the murder of a popular teacher in Orangeburg County, South Carolina.
MPs arrested the teenager on Tuesday on charges of murder for his alleged role in the death of Karl Williams, 49, WIS-TV reported.
“This individual was taken into custody in an apartment complex in Orangeburg today by members of my team and members of the US Marshals,” said Orangeburg County Sheriff Leroy Ravenell. “We investigated this pointless shooting from the first moment.”
It is not known whether the teenager has a lawyer who can speak on his behalf.
On December 14, deputies responded to a shooting at a residence and found Williams “lying on the floor inside the door without responding and appeared to have been shot in the torso by the torso,” the report said.
Aloysius Green Jr., 18, was arrested on January 25 on charges of murder in connection with the shooting, police said.
A third suspect, 18-year-old Calik Guinyard, is awaiting extradition from Florida to South Carolina, where he is being held on different charges.
