Man Arrested in Connection to Chicken Farm Shooting

(Lexington County) - Lexington deputies have arrested a man they say was involved in a shooting at a chicken farm on Walter Taylor Road in the Gilbert community.

Deputies arrested 35-year-old James Cyrus McGlocklin of 1113 Kirkland Street in Batesburg-Leesville and charged him with accessory after the fact to murder. McGlocklin is being held at the Lexington County jail on a $70,000 bond.

Investigators are still searching for 28-year-old Gregorio Solis Rodriguez, a man wanted for murder following a fatal shooting early Wednesday morning at the chicken farm. Deputies say Rodriguez shot and killed Russell Lynn Reeder, Jr. after an argument they had about a woman during a party. Investigators say Rodriguez shot Reeder multiple times in the upper torso. Deputies found Reeder's body behind a chicken coop around 4:12 a.m.

After the shooting, deputies say McGlocklin drove Rodriguez to a black 1997 Nissan pickup truck for him to use to elude investigators. Deputies say the two men were acquaintances.

Rodriguez is still at large, and deputies say he is armed and dangerous. He is described as being 5'2, and weighing about 120 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. Investigators say Rodriguez is an illegal alien who lived at the chicken farm, and worked in Lexington County.
