Assuming he was at the Moselle Rd. home, and heading to Charleston, the route he was on was the long way of getting there. Must have had business in Yemassee, or somewhere along that longer, southern route.
A wee point to ponder. I once had the opportunity of being seated on a Grand Jury for a 2 year stint. One of the many cases we handled involved the murder of the girlfriend of a prominent drug dealer in a local city.
Anyway, the dealer, and his girlfriend, were in the front seat of a Chevy Tahoe, in an open type parking area, one of those long rows with cars parked side by side, with a carport type roof covering.
Anyway, x2, there were reported to be as many as 4 shooters, 200, yes, thats TWO HUNDRED casings were gathered up around the front of the Tahoe. The drug dealer, in the driver seat, was not hit by a single bullet, and his girlfriend, in the passenger seat, was killed by ONE SHOT. All the other shots were misses.
