2 more sought in South Carolina double slaying

LORIS, S.C. (AP) — Authorities are seeking two more suspects in the shooting death of a man and his son in Horry County.

Police said Wednesday they have warrants charging Nehemiah James Evans of Nichols and Odom Bryan Bryant of Tabor City, N.C., each with two counts of murder and one count of first-degree burglary.

Police have already charged 40-year-old Sandy Lee Locklear of Tabor City with shooting and killing her 66-year-old husband, Amos Hatfield, and his son, 40-year-old Thomas Howard Hatfield, at their Loris home early Sunday.

Officials say Amos Hatfield had bought a Tabor City home for his wife in June, while he lived with his son in Loris.

It wasn’t known if Locklear had an attorney. Police said Bryant and Evans were last reported seen in the Tabor City area.
