Convenience store owner charged with murder for shooting suspected teen thief.

A convenience store owner in South Carolina, Rick Chow, has been charged with murder after he shot and killed a 14-year-old boy, Cyrus Carmack-Belton, whom he suspected of shoplifting. The incident occurred at a Shell gas station in Columbia, and Chow chased the teenager down the street before shooting him. The victim did not have a weapon, and there is no evidence that he threatened Chow. Community organizations and advocates against gun violence have gathered around the gas station, and several people have described Chow as "nasty" and rude to customers.
