LEXINGTON COUNTY, S.C. — One person is recovering and another is dead following an overnight shooting near a Lexington County restaurant.
According to the Lexington County Sheriff's Department, deputies were called to the area of the Waffle House on South Lake Drive at I-20 late Saturday. There, they found two people shot outside.
Preliminary information provided by the sheriff's department suggests that the incident began as an earlier dispute between two groups at another location on South Lake.
Later on Sunday afternoon, the Lexington County Coroner's Office identified the deceased shooting victim as 57-year-old Timothy Harold Brock of Goose Creek. Coroner Margaret Fisher said that Brock was shot multiple times in the upper body and died in the roadway. The other victim has since been released from the hospital.
And while the sheriff's office said the incident unfolded outside the Waffle House restaurant, Coroner Fisher stressed that the restaurant was not itself connected to the incident.
Detectives have since interviewed witnesses and are looking at surveillance video. Based on what they know of the shooting so far, investigators believe this is an isolated incident.
However, as the investigation is still underway, no details regarding possible suspects have been provided at this time.
Anyone with information can contact Crime Stoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.
