COLUMBIA, S.C. — Columbia Police have arrested a suspect in connection with last month's apartment shooting that left a teenager dead and two others wounded.
Officers say 18-year-old Travis Gilmore Jr. is charged with murder, attempted murder, assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature and possession of a firearm during a violent crime. Gilmore was arrested Monday morning by the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force.
Officers say back on April 20, Gilmore shot and killed 16-year-old De'Marion Corbett and wounded another 17-year-old and 18-year-old. The shooting took place at the Riverside Apartments, which are on Lucius Drive just off River Drive.
Corbett was a student at Columbia High School.
