Arrest made after Teen Shot in the Head at McDonald’s in Rock Hill

Details of the Incident

The tranquility of Rock Hill, South Carolina, was shattered over the weekend when an 18-year-old was grievously injured after being shot in the head in a McDonald’s parking lot. The incident occurred around 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, August 25, at a bustling McDonald’s branch located on South Cherry Road near Oakland Avenue. Consequently, the young man, whose identity is yet to be revealed to the public, was placed on life support.

As per the initial police reports, the teenager was conversing with individuals in a parked vehicle when he got shot. It’s believed that the shooter was inside the same car. The details about the chain of events and the motive behind the shooting remain murky.

Arrest and Charges

Rock Hill police, in their persistent efforts to solve the case, made significant progress. By Monday, August 26, an arrest had been made in connection with the shooting. The suspect, identified as 20-year-old Jameson Dunham, was arrested and has been charged with accessory after the fact.

However, the exact role Dunham played in the unfortunate incident isn’t clear as of writing this report. His bond hearing is scheduled for Monday afternoon. Notably, the bond for the unnamed injured teen – apparently a victim in the case – was denied.

Community in Shock

The gruesome incident has shocked the local community and placed renewed emphasis on public safety concerns. The site of the incident, McDonald’s on South Cherry Road, is generally teeming with families and young people, and the occurrence of such a violent incident has understandably instilled a sense of fear amongst the locals.

Law enforcement agencies are working diligently to solve the case, and updates on the case would be forthcoming once further details are unraveled.
