Daylight Duel Turns Deadly: Girlfriend Faces Murder Charge, Shooter Walks Free
An unusual daylight showdown unfolded last Wednesday in Rock Hill, South Carolina, where a male reportedly shot a female dead. The unexpected twist, however, is that the victim’s girlfriend finds herself facing the murder charge.
Local law enforcement was on the scene around 3:10 p.m. near Riverwalk Parkway and Cel River Road. They discovered a woman with a gunshot wound to her chest, according to reports by WSOC-TV.
“Based on the factors, the male is not being charged as the shooting was in self-defense,” the authorities confirmed to WSOC. In a surprising turn, they added that Brittney Reed, the victim’s girlfriend, was charged with murder as it was she who provided the gun used in the confrontation.
Scrutiny into the case revealed that the male shooter and the 40-year-old victim, Samarian Lindsay, were coworkers at a local business. The Post and Courier reported that the two had some form of disagreement prior to the incident.
As the work day concluded, Lindsay and her 32-year-old girlfriend, Reed, left the premises in their car, with Reed behind the wheel, as per The Post and Courier. The male coworker proceeded to leave in his own vehicle.
Reed then used her car to blockade the male’s vehicle while he was still in traffic, reported the TV station. That’s when Lindsay approached the passenger side window of the man’s car and brandished a firearm.
The man responded in kind, producing his own weapon and fatally shooting Lindsay, police relayed to WSOC. Following the shooting, Reed attacked the man, punching him in the face. He reportedly shouted at her to leave, to which she complied. The man then waited for law enforcement to arrive, who subsequently detained him upon their arrival.
Lindsay was rushed to Piedmont Medical Center, but was sadly pronounced dead upon arrival.
Reed, initially charged with assault and battery, was later accused of murder due to her role in providing the gun used in the confrontation. Reed’s request for bond was denied by the judge, as WSOC mentioned. Officers on the scene recovered two handguns, and the investigation into the matter continues.

The attorney for the 17-year-old accused of attempting to murder Ricky Pearsall, a first-round draft pick for the 49ers, is challenging the charges. According to the defense, the incident, which occurred during an attempted robbery earlier this month, does not constitute attempted murder.
“It was a rather extended struggle between Mr. Pearsall and my client,” stated public defender Robert Dunlap in an interview with David Lombardi of TheAthletic.com.
“They were really fighting back and forth on the sidewalk. As you might imagine, Mr. Pearsall gets the best of it. He does kind of — I don’t know if you’ve ever wrestled or not — a nice hip toss and throws my client to the ground and ends up on top of him. . . . I think [the video] supports that this is an attempted robbery and not an attempted murder.”
Dunlap also addressed and refuted a report alleging that his client had brought a gun to school.
“My client did not have a gun at school,” Dunlap said. “It’s a false report.”
Despite these arguments, prosecutors have chosen to charge Dunlap’s client with attempted murder. However, they have not yet determined if the young defendant will be tried as an adult.
The next court hearing for this case is scheduled for September 26.

A son, armed and vigilant, responded to a potential burglary at his mother’s unoccupied home in West Virginia during the early hours of the morning. The encounter ended fatally for the alleged intruder.
Authorities reported that the son, checking on the residence around 3:45 a.m., encountered an individual who turned toward him holding an object.
“Unwise move on the part of the intruder.”
The Berkeley County Sheriff’s Office received a call from a male stating he had just shot an intruder at his mother’s Inwood home on Winchester Avenue.
Upon arrival, deputies discovered a male lying face down with a gunshot wound. Immediate life-saving measures were administered until emergency medical services arrived, but the individual was pronounced dead shortly after.
The deceased was identified as 38-year-old Joshua Boone from Williamsport, Maryland. The sheriff’s office confirmed that Boone’s next of kin had been notified.
The investigation revealed that the son, identified by WDVM-TV as Michael Marshal, had gone to the home after hearing about a possible break-in. Marshal told deputies that Boone turned toward him “with something in his hand,” prompting Marshal to fire his handgun.
Boone was located in the garage of the residence, where the fatal shot occurred.
The Department of Criminal Investigators processed the scene for evidence and is conducting a thorough investigation into the shooting. Once the investigation is complete, the case will be presented to the Berkeley County Prosecutors Office.
Authorities are urging anyone with information regarding this case to contact the Criminal Investigations Division at 304-267-7000.

A tragic incident in Michigan has resulted in a teenage boy facing severe charges after allegedly shooting another teen and fatally wounding the teen’s mother, who was trying to protect her son.
Anthony Deshawn Sneed, 15, is being charged as an adult with multiple serious offenses stemming from the incident that occurred on September 4th in Clinton Township.
The charges against Sneed include felony murder as a juvenile defendant, second-degree murder, assault with intent to murder, armed robbery, and four counts of felony firearm possession.
According to the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office, the conflict began when Sneed got into a fight with the son of Tanseen Sherrod.
During the altercation, Sneed allegedly stole a handgun from the other teen.
When Sherrod attempted to intervene in hopes of calming the situation, she was tragically shot by Sneed, authorities reported.
Details surrounding the exact nature of the fatal confrontation have not been made public.
The other teen involved in the incident was also shot and sustained critical injuries, though his current condition has not been disclosed.
Following the shooting, Sneed fled the scene but turned himself in to Detroit authorities the following day.

Gun laws allowed the man to protect himself… Thank God he had a gun and knew how to use it.

The male should be charged as well unless the victim had her gun aimed at him. It sounds like the victim only blocked his car in with her car, and all he needed to do was call the police. The girlfriend was right to be charged because she brought out the gun to begin with. He didn’t have to use the gun (again unless the victim was aiming a gun at him) that was his choice.

It sounds insane to charge the other woman who only provided the firearm. The intent could have been perfectly legal, and how the firearm was used could have been totally contradictory to the intent of the woman who provided it.

The second suspect is lucky to be alive, her assault on the victim could have given hin cause to protect himself again. Convict her of murder and assault, and throw away the key!

the Bible says, that those “that takes another person life”, should be killed by the civil gov’t. Not fed & kept at the expense of other citizens (further cau$ing MORE harm & wa$te).
