TL;DR

A South Carolina jury acquitted store owner Chikei Rick Chow of murder in the 2023 shooting death of 14-year-old Cyrus Carmack-Belton, with Chow’s defense saying he acted to defend his son after Carmack-Belton allegedly pointed a gun; prosecutors argued Chow chased the teen for more than 130 yards and shot him in the back. The verdict, delivered in Columbia, drew sobs from Carmack-Belton’s family in the gallery.
