The charges stem from the shooting death of 22-year-old Jahi Mishoe of Conway reported on Dec. 3 on the 1700 block of Willow Road in the Conway area, near S.C. 544, authorities said.

Joshua Dashawn Spain, 25, of Conway, was arrested Tuesday and charged with murder, according to Krystal Dotson, spokeswoman with Horry County Police Department.

Ces’Swaun Lamar Simmons, 21, also of Conway, was the first person arrested and charged in connection to the shooting. Simmons was arrested Monday and is also facing a murder charge, Dotson said.
