A third person from Lancaster County now faces charges in connection with a fatal block party on June 7 in Rock Hill.

State and local officers on Friday arrested a third Lancaster County man for his an alleged role in a June 1 Rock Hill block party shooting that killed two people and injured two others, police said.

Lancaster County deputies and State Law Enforcement Division agents took Tyquarious Queoveon Davis, 24, into custody Friday for accessory to murder, according to a Rock Hill Police Department news release. Davis, of Lancaster is charged by Rock Hill officers in connection to the June 1 killing of 44-year-old Montest Mincey.

Police didn’t say what role Davis allegedly played in the shooting at the block party where hundreds of people had gathered.

Two other men, also from neighboring Lancaster County, were arrested earlier for their alleged roles in the shootout.

Ji’shae Clyburn, a 19-year-old from Heath Springs, was charged June 7 with Murder in Mincey’s death. Quantrel Jaheim Barrino, 18, from Lancaster, was arrested June 8 in Rock Hill for being an accessory to murder.

Police have not said what the connection is between Lancaster and the shooting site in the 900 block of Southland Drive. That’s in a residential area in southern Rock Hill near where Mount Holly and Saluda roads intersect.

Maricus Kirk, a 21-year-old from Lancaster, also was killed in the June 1 shooting. It’s unclear whether any of the three charged in Mincey’s death played any roles in Kirk’s killing.

A 25-year-old woman and 24-year-old man also received gunshot wounds.
