- A South Carolina jury found a store owner not guilty of murder in the 2023 shooting of Cyrus Carmack-Belton, asserting he acted in defense during a confrontation outside a Columbia store.
- Prosecutors said Chow acted in anger because he wrongly thought the teen had stolen four bottles of water from the store. A defense lawyer said Chow fired to defend his son only after the teen pointed a gun at him.
- The verdict was delivered in Columbia, South Carolina, with Carmack-Belton’s family present in the gallery and reacting emotionally to the ruling.
