BEAUFORT, S.C. (AP) - A fourth person has been arrested in the shooting death of two men on a South Carolina island last month.
The Beaufort County Sheriff’s office said in a news release that 20-year-old Symone Jones of Lady’s Island turned herself in to investigators Monday.
Jones is charged with two counts of murder in the deaths of Robert Blanding and his nephew Chaz Blanding. It was not known if Jones has an attorney.
The body of 25-year-old Robert Blanding of St. Helena Island was found in a drainage ditch on Lady’s Island with several gunshot wounds Nov. 22.
The body of 18-year-old Chaz Blanding was found in some woods Dec. 2.
Sheriff’s deputies say 18-year-old Channon Preston Jr. of Lady’s Island now faces murder charges. He had been held as an accessory.
