COLUMBIA, SC (WOLO)– The Columbia Police Department says a man wanted in connection with a fatal shooting at the Colony Apartments earlier this month turned himself in to police on Wednesday. Police say they arrested 42-year-old Eric Norris and charged him with murder, attempted murder, possession of a Firearm by person convicted of a crime of violence and possession of a weapon during a violent crime.

Officials say the charges stem from a shooting incident on May 15. On that day, police say they were called to the 1900 block of Bailey Street after receiving a Shotspotter alert. On the scene, police say they found two individuals who had been injured. One of those individuals later died.

Investigators say the shooting took place after an argument between the men.
