Man dies from wounds suffered in Rock Hill shooting incident Sunday night
One person was killed and another was injured in a shooting in Rock Hill early Sunday morning, police said.
Rock Hill police responded to a shooting in the 1100 block of Carolina Avenue Extension around 4:30 a.m., Lt. Michael Chavis said in a release. At the scene, officers found a 33-year-old man with multiple gunshot wounds lying on the ground, according to the release.
The man, James Mobley, was transported to Piedmont Medical Center with life-threatening injuries, York County Coroner Sabrina Gast and Chavis said. Mobley, from Rock Hill, died from his injuries Tuesday, Gast said.
Officers were informed that a silver sedan had left the area. They later located the car “a short distance away” with another 33-year-old man who was shot in the arm, according to the release. The man was treated for his injury at the hospital, the release said.
The investigation into the shooting is ongoing and no arrests have been made, Chavis said.
The shooting is not believed to have any connection to protests in York County or anywhere else, Chavis said.
“There is nothing that connects the incident we are investigating and anything else going on in the state or country,” Chavis said.
Before noon on Saturday, more than 1,000 people marched in Rock Hill in a peaceful protest of the killing of George Floyd on Monday in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Floyd was a black man who died after a police officer kneeled on his neck for nearly nine minutes in an incident captured on video.
Later Saturday, protests in nearby Columbia and Charlotte turned violent.
