Four people are charged with murder after a shooting in Pomaria on Friday night, Oct. 30, killed a 19-year-old and injured another person, according to the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office.
The Newberry County Coroner identified the man who died as Tyler L. Austin, 19, of Newberry.
What happened
Deputies were called to a reported shooting near the intersection of Holloway and Folk streets in Pomaria. Soon after, more calls came in about a vehicle that had been hit by gunfire nearby, the sheriff’s office said.
Deputies found two people who had been shot. Austin died from his injuries. The second victim was flown by medical helicopter to a trauma center. Their condition has not been released.
Who is charged
The sheriff’s office said four people were arrested and charged with murder:
- Dakerian Lytrell Greenwood, 18, of Pomaria
- Jayden Gallman, 18, of Prosperity
- Montieth Brown, 18, of Prosperity
- A 17-year-old from Newberry
Newberry County court records show Gallman was out on a $5,000 personal recognizance bond from an Oct. 15 drug arrest at the time of the shooting.
Officials have not said what led to the shooting or whether the suspects knew the victims. Information on any additional charges or bond was not available.
The sheriff’s office said the investigation is continuing, and an autopsy is planned.
The charges are accusations, and all four are presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
