A 14-year-old was fatally shot in the back Sunday by a South Carolina convenience store owner who wrongly accused him of shoplifting and chased him after a confrontation, authorities said.
The owner, armed with a pistol, and his son chased the teen toward a nearby apartment complex, Lott said, adding Carmack-Belton fell at one point but got back up. “It’s senseless,” Lott said. “It doesn’t make sense. You have a family that’s grieving. We have a community that’s grieving over a 14-year-old who was shot.”
The investigation determined the shooting was “not a bias motivated incident,” according to a report from the sheriff's office. Carmack-Belton is Black. Chow is Asian.
