1 dead, 1 hurt in double shooting, Rock Hill say

ROCK HILL, S.C. — A male was found shot to death in a vehicle and a female who was shot was found sitting in a driveway Wednesday afternoon in Rock Hill, police said.

Rock Hill police said they found the victims at about 12:45 p.m. in the 1200 block of Amelia Avenue.

Police got there and the female with gunshot wounds to her hand and head told them the male was shot in the vehicle parked in the street.

EMS took the female to Piedmont Medical Center. She is expected to be OK. The male died at the scene.

Family and friends of the two victims gathered on the street where that man lost his life.

“I hate this happened,” said Rah Neely, a family member of the man killed. “It’s a tragedy man and he’s a great dad and he loved everybody. Most important, he loved his kids.”

Family members said the two were in a car in the driveway when they were attacked. Someone started firing shots at them.

They believe the two tried to take cover from the bullets and drove across the street where police found the car.

Neely and other family members tried to make sense of the crime.

“He was a great person,” Neely said. “He would give you the shirt off his back. He’ll give you everything. He loved to take care of his kids, his family.”

No arrests have been made.

No additional details have been made available.
