The South Carolina convenience owner and his son chased the boy out of the store, police said, before he was shot in the back.
In an incident Richland County, S.C., Sheriff Leon Lott called “senseless,” a Columbia convenience store owner has been charged in the shooting death of a 14-year-old.
According to the sheriff, the incident happened at about 8 p.m. Sunday. Carmack-Belton went in the store, and the owners suspected him of shoplifting. However, Lott said the 14-year-old did not shoplift.An argument started inside the store, the sheriff said, and the 14-year-old ran away. Chow and his son chased him, Lott said. Chow was armed with a pistol, per the sheriff.
“Even if had shoplifted four bottles of water, which is what he initially took out of the cooler and then he put them back, even if he had done that, that’s not something you shoot anybody over, much less a 14-year-old,” Lott said. “You just don’t do that.”
