WIS News 10 - Columbia, South Carolina | Teen gets life for beach parking space killing
Member Center:
CONWAY, S.C. (AP) - A South Carolina teen has been sentenced to life in prison for killing a college student in a fight over a parking space.
Multiple media outlets report an Horry County jury took about four hours Wednesday to convict 19-year-old Keion Griffin of murder.
Co-defendant Demario Stukes testified that Griffin shot Coastal Carolina University student Corey Brooks in May 2008 after knocking him to the ground with his gun.
Prosecutors say Brooks and several friends got into the fight after telling several girls in a car they couldn't park in front of a beach house at Myrtle Beach.
Griffin's lawyer says someone else shot Brooks.
Stukes is also charged with murder. A juvenile with the men has pleaded guilty and must stay in prison until he turns 21.
