nationwide, ‘The father and uncle of the defendant contacted CPD and positively identified the defendant and
bis vehicle as those they saw inthe photographs. Further, the defendant's father told investigators that his son
owns 2.45 caliber handgun. 45 cal. fired casings were recovered from the crime scene. Additionally, the
defendant matches the physical description and age ofthe shooter (described by witnesses who can be named
later as a white male, approx. 5°07" slender build, who told the witness that he is 21 years old) The defendant
has «bow hairout as can be seen on the video. South Caroling DMY records show the defendant as being the
registered owner ofa black 2000 Fiyundai Flanira (SC Tag # LGF330). The above is true and believable based
‘on the observations of witnesses alona with the investigations ofthe Charleston Police Department.
