LEXINGTON, S.C. (AP)- Authorities say a 62-year-old Lexington
County man is charged in the shooting death of a 17-year-old boy.

Lexington County Sheriff James Metts says detectives arrested Francis Reeves at his home in Chapin on Saturday.

His arrest came hours after Deshaun Clark died at a local hospital.

The sheriff says an autopsy shows the Little Mountain teen died from being shot in his lower abdomen.

He says Clark was shot during a dispute Friday night outside a home near Chapin.
