Authorities in Orangeburg have arrested a man accused of shooting another man to death during an argument over a basketball game.
The Orangeburg County Sheriff’s Office charged Rodney Rivers, 25, with murder in the death of Tashon S. Grant, 28, the agency said in a statement obtained by news outlets Tuesday.
Sheriff Leroy Ravenell said Rivers and Grant were playing a one-on-one game of basketball on a court behind an Orangeburg elementary school when they got into an argument over the game.
Rivers left the court and retrieved a handgun before fatally shooting Grant, witnesses told investigators.
