One charged with murder in connection to Conway shooting; victim identified
A 55-year-old man faces life in prison after being charged with murder in connection to a deadly shooting at a strip mall.
Conway police went to Rivertown Boulevard shortly before midnight Sunday for the reported shooting. When officers arrived, they found the victim dead.
The Horry County Coroner’s office identified the victim as Paul Mishoe, 30, of Conway.
Conway officers have not released any details on what led to the shooting.
The shooting happened in the parking lot near CW’s Wings and Ribs. The restaurant is in a complex with several shopping areas including a Walmart and B&B Theaters. It is near the intersection of U.S. 501 and El Bethel Road.
Officers took Stephen Denis O’Hara into custody in the shooting’s immediate aftermath. On Monday, Conway police announced he was charged with murder, pointing a firearm at a person and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.
O’Hara is being held in J. Reuben Long Detention Center without bond. Only a circuit court judge can set bond on murder counts. That means O’Hara will remain behind bars until he can appear in Conway court to argue for bond.
O’Hara has a limited criminal history in Horry County, with most charges being traffic violations. He was charged by Horry County police in 2003 on a prostitution-related charge. He paid $500 in costs and fees on that count.
