Police: 2 charged with murder after their accomplice is shot & killed during attempted robbery

ROCK HILL, S.C. – Two men are facing murder charges in Rock Hill after a felony robbery attempt left their accomplice dead.

Police say an unnamed 18-year-old and 19-year-old Ka’darius Turner-Hansley attempted to rob a man on Springdale Road. The 18-year-old shot the victim, and the victim shot back in self-defense, killing the teen.

Investigators later identified 23-year-old Christopher Thompson, Jr. as a co-conspirator in the plot.
