According to Myrtle Beach Police, Friday’s shooting came as a result of an altercation between an employee at the restaurant and another person at about 11:15 p.m. Two people suffered gunshot wounds. One died and the other was transported to the hospital for a non-life threatening injury.
The person who suffered non-life threatening injuries was in the crosswalk near the business when they were hit. No further information was shared about the victims of the shooting.
The teen’s bond hearing took place on Saturday afternoon, during which the judge offered no bond on a charge of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, a bond of $250,000 for possession of a weapon during the violent crime, and a bond of $250,000 for a charge of possession of a weapon by a minor. McCray was also charged with murder. This charge was sent to the High Court for bond setting.
Police Lt. Allen Amick said that Myrtle Beach police were already patrolling the area when the incident took place, and responded “within seconds” when shots were fired.
Prock said that violence like this is a nationwide issue, and that not only are there some “mitigating” factors that must be examined with open carry laws, but that adults need to secure weapons in the home.
The investigation into the incident is still ongoing, police said.
