Two from South Carolina charged with murder after Massachusetts man found dead in trash can
Two men have been charged after a Massachusetts man was found dead in disturbing fashion.
According to the City of Marion South Carolina Police Department, 31-year-old Shaiquan Ramaal Foxworth of Marion was arrested this week and charged in the murder of David Hutchinson which took place in January.
Hutchinson’s body was discovered inside a trash can that had been placed behind an abandoned residence on Pearl Street.
Foxworth has been charged with Murder (No bond set at this time), Desecration or Removal of Human Remains ($10,000 bond), Conspiracy ($5,000 bond), Possession of a Weapon During the Commission of a Violent Crime ($5,000 bond), and Discharging a Firearm within City Limits ($1,087.50 bond). His total bond has been set at $21,087.50. Bond on the Murder charge will be determined at a later date by a Circuit Court Judge.
Additionally, 31-year-old Travis Jermaine Godbolt, who is currently being held at the Marion County Detention Center on unrelated charges, has also been charged in connection with Hutchinson’s death. His charges include Murder (No bond set at this time), Desecration or Removal of Human Remains ($10,000 bond), and Conspiracy ($5,000 bond). Godbolt’s bond has been set at $15,000. As with Foxworth, bond on the Murder charge will be determined by a Circuit Court Judge at a later date.
Thomas Lee Brigman, Jr. was arrested and charged with Accessory After the Fact of Murder. His bond was set at $15,000 surety.
While no details were revealed by authorities, a GoFundMe fundraiser created by family states that Hutchinson “was lured to South Carolina with the promise of making money by a woman who claimed to be an entrepreneur, but upon arrival, he quickly figured out it was all a set up. After being taken for his money, he was dropped off at a trap house where his phone was also stolen. In the time leading up to his disappearance there was an altercation with his barbering equipment being stolen as well. When Dave confronted the individual(s) he thought took his belongings, he was met with violence and a gun was pulled. Later that same day he vanished without a trace.”
The investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information regarding this incident is encouraged to contact the Marion Police Department at 843-423-8616 or submit information through the department’s mobile app. Tips may be provided anonymously.
An 87-year-old businessman in Columbia, South Carolina says he has no plans to retire.
Leonard Fabrizio works as a retailer at Brittons of Columbia, a locally-owned men’s clothing store.
“I’m not the type of person who can sit around by myself,” said Fabrizio. “I just enjoy the interaction and that’s the big thing, is the interaction with people. It’s always been the drive in this business for me, said Fabrizio.
Fabrizio’s retail career began as a college student when he worked at J.C. Penney. He has watched Columbia grow and has owned a store and managed several others.
His advice is to “Be patient. It takes time to build a business. It doesn’t happen overnight, but it’s rewarding. It’s fun. But you have to have compassion for the business.”
Fabrizio recently celebrated another birthday alongside those who have supported his career.
(WPDE) — June 9 marked International Batten Disease Awareness Day, shining a light on a rare, inherited neurodegenerative disorder.
It primarily affects children and causes harmful waste material to build up inside the cells of the brain and nervous system.
One South Carolina family used the day to raise awareness as their 2-year-old son, Sam Stockton, lives with CLN2 Batten disease.
Sam was diagnosed at 16 weeks old, and his family says they travel every other week for enzyme-replacement therapy while also searching for clinical research opportunities.
Through Hope for Sam, the family is working to spread information about Batten disease and support other families facing rare diseases.
“Just the more you know about rare diseases, I never knew that over 300 million people worldwide live with rare diseases. And that means there’s less access to care because people aren’t researching it and not as many people have it. So the more information that’s out there, we feel is the better,” Jordan Stockton said.
There are 13 known types of Batten disease, and there is no cure. Researchers estimate the disease affects about two to four out of every 100,000 births in the United States.
The Stockton family says they have found support through the Batten Disease Support, Research and Advocacy Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to helping families navigate the disease while providing resources.
