SUMMERVILLE, S.C. (WCBD) – Authorities arrested a fifth person in connection with an April 19 homicide at the Gates of Summerville apartment complex.

Officers responded to the apartment complex and found two teenagers dead inside a vehicle. Four others were arrested in mid-June for their roles in the shooting.

Following an “exhaustive investigation,” detectives with the Summerville Police Department (SPD) arrested and charged Shyitiione Lashay Parker with two counts of misprision of a felon, according to the agency.

Parker was located on July 11 with help from the U.S. Marshals Service and taken to the Dorchester County Detention Center.

According to an affidavit, Parker messaged with a codefendant and discussed details of the double murder that were not public knowledge and failed to report the information to law enforcement when given an opportunity.
