Richland County SC -- An 81 year old security officer has been killed during a shoplifting incident in South Carolina.
Deputies say that the Sears officer whose job was to stop shoplifters was killed by two men who shoved him down while stealing television sets from the South Carolina store, a sheriff said Wednesday.
Sheriff Leon Lott charged them with murder as well as strong-arm robbery when the security worker died, four days after his head hit the store’s concrete floor.
The victim, Duaine Hamilton, was “enjoying the golden years of his life, and it was just snatched from him by these two punks who wanted to go steal two TVs,” Lott said at a news conference.
