CONWAY, S.C. (AP) - Police in South Carolina have arrested a man who killed another man during an argument on the victim's porch.

Investigators told The Sun News of Myrtle Beach that 38-year-old Bridgett Moore turned himself in Tuesday and was charged with murder.

Authorities say Moore argued with 32-year-old Tyronne Jones outside Jones' Conway home Monday evening before shooting the victim in the face.

Horry County Police spokesman Sgt. Robert Kegler says investigators are trying to determine a motive for the shooting.

It wasn't immediately clear if Moore had an attorney.
