Sumter County Sheriff Anthony Dennis says two men wanted in connection with the shooting death of one of the men's wife have been arrested.

Dennis told WLTX-TV in Columbia that Samuel Lee Montgomery Jr. was arrested Sunday afternoon at a Sumter motel and Sherald Anderson was arrested a little later at a bus station.

Coroner Verna Moore says 37-year-old Angela Anderson of Sumter died Saturday evening at a Columbia hospital from a gunshot wound to the back.

Dennis told The Item of Sumter that Angela Anderson apparently was living with another man and jealousy over her new relationship may have been a motive in the shooting.

Dennis says Sherald Anderson was released from prison a few months ago and has been convicted of threatening a public official among other charges.
