Man charged in killing of teen in Conway home

CONWAY, S.C. (AP) — Horry County police say they have charged a man with murder in the shooting of a teen in a Conway mobile home last month.

Investigators said 21-year-old Keir Johnson was arrested Thursday morning.

Authorities say someone forced open the door of the home on Nov. 8 and fired several shots inside, killing 19-year-old Shaquille Pertelle.

Investigators didn’t release a motive or additional information on the arrest.

Johnson was being held in the Horry County jail and it wasn’t clear if he had an attorney.
