A shocking incident unfolded in South Carolina today as a man was run over and fatally shot in the parking lot of the Laurens County courthouse following a child visitation hearing. Authorities have identified the suspect as Stephen Andrew White, 32, who has been charged with murder. The victim, 34-year-old Erin Lee Thomas, was airlifted to a hospital but tragically succumbed to his injuries shortly after.
The Laurens County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that no one else was injured during the incident, and White was immediately taken into custody. Court records indicate that Thomas was the plaintiff and White the defendant in a child custody or visitation case heard earlier today. White is currently being held in jail without bond, and it’s unclear whether he has legal representation at this time.
