Community mourns teenager’s death after gas station owner charged with murder

Rick Chow, 58, was charged with murder after an autopsy showed that Cyrus Carmack-Belton was shot in the back when off the store’s property running away from the gas station.

Elected officials met a South Carolina community mourning the death of a 14-year-old boy who authorities say was fatally shot in the back by a gas station owner with calls to channel their righteous anger into collective support and political action.

Over 60 people gathered Friday evening for a prayer vigil across the street from the Xpress Mart Shell station in Columbia less than one week after  today!
