Lexington County, SC (WLTX) -- Detectives with the Lexington County Sheriff's Department arrested two more men in connection with a deadly shooting two weeks ago near Swansea. One of them was a player on the Vorhees College basketball team.
Lexington County Sheriff James R. Metts says 24-year-old Henry Norris Johnson, Jr., of Swansea, has been arrested and charges with murder, burglary and armed robbery. At the time of his arrest, Johnson was a junior point guard on the Vorhees College men's basketball team.
Detectives also arrested Justin K. Washington, 21, of Denmark, on arrest warrants on charges of murder, first-degree burglary and armed robbery.
Both are being held at the Lexington County Detention Center while awaiting bond hearings.
Bond hearings for Johnson and Washington have not been set yet.
On February 17th, Detectives arrested 31-year-old Patrick Sintell Larry of Swansea in connection with the murder. Larry continues to await a bond hearing at the Lexington County Detention Center.
Johnson and Larry are cousins, Metts said. Washington is an acquaintance of Johnson.
Investigators say on in the early morning of February 12, Johnson, Larry and Washington entered the Calhoun Road home of Matthew Milhouse, Jr. Milhouse was fatally shot in his upper leg during a drug-related robbery at his home. Detectives recovered a 20-gauge shotgun, and ballistic tests will be conducted to determine whether the shotgun was used to kill Milhouse.
The Lexington County Coroner had said preliminary results of an autopsy show Milhouse died as a result of a gunshot wound to his upper leg.
