LEXINGTON COUNTY, S.C. — The Lexington County Sheriff's Office is hoping neighborhood interviews and a vehicle description will lead to strong clues regarding who killed 18-year-old Direko C. Thomas on Saturday afternoon.
The sheriff's office released a statement in the afternoon explaining that the shooting happened in the 100 block of Miranda Drive - a neighborhood just off of Charleston Highway and north of Old Wire Road.
"Based on information from witnesses, the shooter left the scene in a black Nissan Maxima, which we have located," Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon said. "We don't have much else to go on at this point."
