Sheriff says motive for murder of teenage girl is still unknown
Why was 16-year-old Natiya Browne shot and killed
while she was at Plantersville General Store Sunday afternoon?
Georgetown County Sheriff Carter Weaver says investigators,
for now, do not know why Dae’mon Hykeim Sanders, 20, shot Browne.
When deputies arrived at the store, they saw the glass
of store’s doors was shattered and riveted with bullet holes.
A Sheriff’s Office incident report states a witness
pointed officers to the Plantersville Road side of the store where Browne was on
the ground and was not moving. She had a bullet hole in her chest area. A
second bullet struck her left shoulder.
Georgetown County Coroner Chase Ridgeway said Browne
died on the scene.
He said Browne, from Charlotte, was in town with her
family to attend a funeral.
Investigators quicky released a photo and information
about Sanders. He was later arrested, according to the Sheriff’s Office. He is
charged with Murder, Possession of a Weapon During a Violent Crime and Unlawful
Carry of a Firearm.
On Monday, bond was denied by a county magistrate on the
weapons charges. Bond for the murder charge must be set by a Circuit Court
judge. That is tentatively set to take place November 7.
Weaver says his office is aware of and monitoring
various claims Sanders shot Browne in self-defense. He said the comments have
been made within the Plantersville and social media communities.
“To date, the investigation has not uncovered any
defense claims, nor has it determined motive for the senseless murder of Natiya
Browne,” Weaver states.
The investigation is continuing. Anyone with
information about this incident or these individuals should call Georgetown
County Sheriff’s Office at 843-546-5102.
One of the most highly touted offensive line prospects in the 2027 recruiting class has recently announced their college commitment.
As the summer months begin in the college football offseason, recruiting efforts and momentum around programs are higher than ever as coaches look to add as many talented players as they can to their upcoming recruiting classes.
With so much happening in the next few weeks, many prospects are beginning to shut down their recruitments and make their commitments known. The latest player to do so is offensive lineman Mark Matthews, one of the highest ranked players in the 2027 class.
According to 247Sports, Matthews stands at just over 6-foot-5 and weighs 300 pounds. The offensive lineman has been heavily recruited by programs such as Miami, Georgia, and Texas A&M, as well as many other notable programs.
Despite the efforts of many, Matthews elected to announce his commitment to Mike Elko and the Texas A&M Aggies. His decision is a massive victory on the recruiting trail for A&M and will likely have immediate benefits once he arrives on campus next fall.
What Mark Matthews’ Commitment Means for the Georgia Bulldogs
Offensive line prospects are always a major commodity for the Bulldogs, no matter the class. While the Dawgs put forth massive efforts in Matthews’ recruitment, the staff seems to have fallen just short of adding a massive piece.
While this outcome is certainly disappointing, the Bulldogs still have a handful of extremely talented offensive line prospects currently committed. The Dawgs are also set to host their annual “scavenger hunt” recruiting trip this weekend, which will almost certainly lead to some commitments.
As the summer months continue, Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs’ staff will be diligently working to add as many talented players as possible to their 2027 recruiting class. The Dawgs typically pick up momentum during this time of year, and will likely have a handful of commitments in the following weeks.
