South Carolina Store Owner Faces Murder Charge for Fatal Shooting of Teen and Previous Incidents.

A South Carolina convenience store owner who fatally shot a 14-year-old in the back after falsely accusing him of stealing was involved in at least two prior altercations in which he confronted people he suspected of shoplifting and then opened fire, authorities said. The owner, Rick Chow, remained in jail awaiting a bond hearing in the death of Cyrus Carmack-Belton. The shootings were just two examples of prior incidents at the store. During the past five years, the sheriff’s department has received hundreds of calls from the store ranging from assaults, larceny and shoplifting to motor vehicle theft, vandalism, robbery and burglary.
