A local man based in Columbia has been charged following a fatal shooting at a gas station on Sunday. The unfortunate incident consequently resulted in the death of a 46-year-old man.
Joseph Kennedy, a 35-year-old native of Columbia, is the man subjected to the charges associated with the lethal shooting.

The charges are linked to the brutal murder of Jevon Belton at the EZ Spot gas station on Farrow Road. The fatal incident took place around 12:30 a.m. on Sunday.
