A Myrtle Beach businessman who was shot in a Publix parking lot last month has been arrested for his alleged involvement in a fight that took place before the shooting.

Andrew Langway, 45, was arrested Wednesday by Myrtle Beach Police for third-degree assault and battery.

Langway is a partner and broker of Keystone Commercial and Realty. He also sits on the finance and economic board of advisors for Coastal Carolina University.

It is unclear the details of Langway’s arrest. The Sun News has requested the arrest warrant in the incident.

Before the shooting, it appears that Langway was involved in a disagreement with another motorist in the grocery store parking lot, police said. The disagreement escalated into a physical altercation.

Langway apparently tried distancing himself from the altercation when Kevin Lamar Mccoy, 34, of Autryville, North Carolina, allegedly fired multiple rounds from a shotgun from inside the vehicle, striking Langway, police said.

Mccoy was charged with aggravated assault and battery, possession of a weapon during a violent crime and unlawful possession of a firearm following the shooting that happened at 5:38 p.m. April 3, 2026, in the parking lot at 7925 North Kings Highway.

Langway was transported to a local hospital for his injuries, police said.
