2 men sentenced in deadly 2009 Walterboro shootingWALTERBORO, S.C. (AP) — Two men have been sentenced to five years each in prison for their roles in a 2009 drive-by shooting that killed three people, including a 20-month-old girl. WCSC-TV reports (http://bit.ly/LVnml5 ) Saturday that Shaquille O'Neal Drayton and Deshaun Quatrell Holmes were sentenced after pleading guilty to voluntary manslaughter. Relatives said a group was playing cards in a front yard in November 2009 when a car pulled up and opened fire. Witnesses said her mother tried to shield Shaniyah Burden from a barrage of bullets. The girl and 21-year-old Christopher Powell died at hospitals. Forty-five-year-old Charles Kittrell died at the scene. Drayton and Holmes were arrested in a massive round up of suspected gang members in July 2010. That sweep followed a five-month investigation by local, state and federal agents. ___ Information from: WCSC-TV, http://www.wcsc.com |
