By ALEX LANG | The Sun News (Myrtle Beach, S.C.) | Published: December 15, 2020 MYRTLE BEACH. S.C. (Tribune News Service) A friendly card game inside a Myrtle Beach restaurant turned deadly when suspects stormed the business, forced the victims against a wall and then shot them on an October morning. On Oct. 12, police responded to a shooting inside Allen s Food Basket off U.S. 501. Details have been scarce on what happened inside the restaurant. But investigators released additional information during a bond hearing on Tuesday. Samuel Frye, a U.S. Air Force member, was in Horry County court for a hearing. Frye appeared by video from J. Reuben Long Detention Center, where he has been held since his October arrest. Police charged him with two counts of murder, five counts of attempted murder and assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature in connection to the incident.
