ROCK HILL, S.C. — Two teens have been charged in connection with the shooting death of a 19-year-old in Rock Hill.

A 16-year-old girl is facing three charges, including murder, armed robbery and criminal conspiracy. A 15-year-old boy has been charged with possession of a pistol by a person under 18.

Investigators said the 19-year-old and the 16-year-old conspired to rob the 15-year-old at gunpoint on Friday.

The two attempted to rob the 15-year-old in a parking garage on Elizabeth Lane, but the robbery victim pulled out a pistol and shot the 19-year-old.

Officers were called to the 100 block of Elizabeth Lane at about 2:20 a.m., where they found the shooting victim. EMS responded, but the man died.

Officials said the 16-year-old girl was charged with murder because of her participation in a violent felony that resulted in another person’s death.

The Rock Hill Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division is investigating the shooting.

The article first had the street name as East Main Street, but the police department had since corrected the location.
