CHESTER, S.C. — Authorities in South Carolina arrested a second suspect accused of murder after a deadly shooting that happened months ago in Chester.
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division announced new charges on Tuesday against Antonio Woods Heath, 33. The sheriff’s office says he’s being charged with murder and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime.
Heath is accused of ambushing a victim on Saluda Street in Chester and shooting the victim multiple times. It happened early in the morning on July 23, according to a warrant.
The warrant says Heath and a co-defendant fled the scene after killing the victim.
