At a press conference, Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott said station owner Rick Chow had been mistaken in thinking that Cyrus Carmack Belton had stolen water bottles from the Express Mart shell station in Columbia, South Carolina. The sheriff states that after a verbal altercation, Carmack Belton ran and was pursued by Chow's son. According to Lott, Chow joined the pursuit carrying a weapon. Carmack Belton fell as they passed some neighboring apartments and got back

up, at which point Chow shot the teen, hitting him in the back. Chow's son stated that the teenager had a gun, and police say they did discover one next to Carmack Belton's body. An initial press release on the incident stated that deputies discovered a gunshot victim on the side of the road after responding to a complaint of a shooting at 8 p.m. Sunday. He was later declared dead at a hospital. Coroner Naida Rutherford stated at the press conference that Carmack Belton died from a single gunshot wound to his right lower back.

After his arrest in Cleveland, Muniz allegedly provided information that led to New Jersey prosecutors charging him with first-degree murder in the October 2013 killing of 45-year-old Jamie Molina in Camden, New Jersey. Our friends with the Cherry Hill Courier-Post are reporting that a weapon taken from Muniz after his arrest in December 2013 matched a shell casing discovered close to Molina's body.
