KERSHAW COUNTY, S.C. — One man is dead and another is in custody after a shooting in Kershaw County on Thursday morning.
36-year-old Vidal Bastein of New York died from injuries sustained in the shooting, according to Kershaw County Coroner David West.
Deputies said the shooting happened in the 1400 block of Fort Jackson Blvd in Lugoff Thursday morning. The suspect left the scene in a gray 4-door sedan headed toward Hwy 601 and was later arrested.
Doby’s Mill Elementary School was put on lockout for a period of time out of an abundance of caution, district officials confirmed. A lockout means everyone stays inside and normal operations continue, but the outside doors are locked.
Quintera Torace Siriwat, 22, of Lugoff, was arrested and is currently being held at the Kershaw County Detention Center.
Deputies said all the information they have leads them to believe this was a targeted shooting.
