Two arrested in connection to deadly Myrtle Beach shooting
Two people face charges in connection to a Myrtle Beach shooting that left one dead and another person injured.
Late Wednesday, Myrtle Beach police announced Walter Allen Cuttino, 25, of Georgetown, faces murder and attempted murder charges. Shamia Janea Maness, 24, of Greensboro, North Carolina, was charged with obstruction of justice.
Around 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, officers responded to Dunbar Street and Graham Avenue for the reported shooting. One person was shot in the chest three times and another was dropped off at a nearby fire station with a gunshot wound, according to police radio traffic.
The Horry County Coroner’s Office stated Anthony McNeil, 23, died of his injuries. The other victim, who has not been named, is in stable condition at the hospital, police say.
Police continue the investigation into shooting in the Booker T. Washington neighborhood and anyone with information is asked to contact the department at (843) 918-1382.
Cuttino was charged in Horry County in 2012 with second-degree burglary. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced under the state’s youthful offender act. In December 2018, he was charged by North Myrtle Beach police with defrauding an innkeeper.
Maness has no previous charges in Horry County, according to court records.
On Thursday, both suspects appeared in Myrtle Beach municipal court for bond hearings. A municipal judge denied bond for Cuttino as only a circuit court judge can set bond on a murder charge. Bond was set at $50,000 for Maness.
