On April 9, a 15-year-old Denmark teen was gunned down outside the Southern Lodge Motel on St. Matthews Road near Orangeburg. A 14-year-old was wounded in the shooting.

Witnesses said that, just before noon, gunfire erupted from a red sedan they said drove through the parking lot.

"This is truly mindboggling as to why someone would commit such a senseless act," Orangeburg County Sheriff Leroy Ravenell said. "You know we are going to find you. We will not give up until you are brought to justice to face your crimes."

The investigation is ongoing, according to Ravenell.
